Hi all-Just did a valve adjustment and out of curiosity decided to start
the car with the valve cover off to check my work. What I didn't expect
is the lack of oil squirting all over the place. The oil ( at idle )
seems to slowly ooze from around & out of the oil hole in the rocker.
Years ago when I had a 240Z I did the same test with very different
results, what a mess! I am aware in the vast improvement in the oiling
system on the Z as well as the need to oil the over head cam but what a
difference. I am using straight 30w Penzoil & the pressure at cold idle
was 75lbs.
