Also consider the condition of the rocker bushings in line and bearing cond=
ition in general. I don't use the oil feed line in my race car, but we have=
 plenty of oil pressure at full tilt.

Subject: [Fot] Supplimental oil feed to head

I have very good evidence that my head is lacking sufficient oil supply.  T=
he shaft on #1 rocker has gouges about 1/16" deep after 35,000 miles.  Can =
one of you email me a picture of where you attached a supplemental oil feed=
 line to your head?  Has anyone ever tried opening up that pathetic oil pas=
sage that the head/rocker pedestal interface has.  Has anyone tried tapping=
 the end cap of the rocker shaft and connecting an oil line directly?

Thanks,

Greg
