hey guys, i have a '55 3100 1st series with a 235 straight 6 and i am unsure about how it is supposed to oil. i know for sure where the oil pump sends the pressurized oil out of the block and i think i know where the oil returns to the block.... my assumptions jive with the full pressure oiler article by bruce childs from this forum
http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/full_pressure.htm my existing connections are very close to his home made connections. my worry is about oil getting to the head, we totally rebuilt the motor and we do not see oil making it to the head when we turn the oil pump with a screw driver drill. I have noticed that the rocker arms have an internal oil journal and a little hole on the top i assume that for spraying oil everywhere else inside the valve cover... are the rocker arm assemble bolts supposed to be the type with an oil passage up the center? how does oil reach the head? thanks for all the help guys!
