Need an offset rocker that oils thru the shaft, not the pushrod. What kind and where can I get them?? Thanks Last edited by Racebuddy; 01/10/16 09:36 AM.

They are kind of similar to the 273 adjustable rockers. 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV

I closed off the hole in the head on my econo W-2s
