I do have the shafts facing down. Is this normal? It has a small solid roller and crane aluminum rockers. I did not restrict oil to the top end. 71 Barracuda 383 4spd (500ci) 69 camaro 598, NOS 69 barracuda bbc procharger 77 t/a 6.0 turbo project 78 t/a 400 77 corvette 1983 hurst/olds 03 Viper 79 360 macho 71 demon 360 78 Warlock 5.7 hemi project

Are you talking its leaking where the shafts fit down in the groves of the head? No, that isn't normal. Do you have shims between the shaft and the head? If its leaking there, the oil cant go into the shaft and out of the rocker arms. Must be a pretty big leak. Check to make sure the shaft is down in the groove and the washers or shims you are using isnt holding the shaft out of the grove.

I don't have shims under them. 71 Barracuda 383 4spd (500ci) 69 camaro 598, NOS 69 barracuda bbc procharger 77 t/a 6.0 turbo project 78 t/a 400 77 corvette 1983 hurst/olds 03 Viper 79 360 macho 71 demon 360 78 Warlock 5.7 hemi project
