Well, I thought someone already posted to this issue. On an old 235 I had,
the rocker arm assembly wasn't getting any oil. I was told running the
tubing from the block up to the fitting in the head provided direct oiling
and was a quick fix short of tearing down the whole block and finding where
it was plugged. I don't think its any big deal - it seems to have been
commonplace. Now, why the hole is in the head to provide this relief to
begin with I don't know, but it obviously was put there by the factory so I
assume it was foreseen as a potential problem by GM.
