Developed a knock in the '55 engine and seems to be located in the rocker arm
area. The small diameter upside down "u" pipe has a hole or split on the
underside top that leaks oil when the engine is cold, but not after it warms
up. Should that hole be there?
Second, there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of oil in the rocker arm enclosure,
in fact doesn't splatter out when reving the engine with the cover off. Should
this area have alot of oil or just a heavy film on the rocker arms from the
seepage thru the little holes?
The noise or knock is pronounced at a very fast idle and is not hardly evident
at most other engine speeds. Any ideas or suggestions on what to try?
Thanks for any and all help.
