Mike,
Forgive me if redundant - I came in late to the
thread. On my racecar, I have tubular pushrods on a
1275, 1.3 ratio rockers (non-rolling), filling the oil
takes a while, 2 qts and it's overfull w/ 30w Redline
race oil (interest-less plug: buy all your Redline
products from Peter C., BTW). Running, though, it's
fine, no puddling, smoke, etc. What about the other
side of the equation - could the rocker shaft bushings
be too loose, allowing too much in? I bought a set of
1.5 ratio rolling rockers, hardened shaft, offset
pedestals from Loser's Circle, and it took the usual
$70 machining bill after buying something from them to
make it all fit together properly. I haven't
installed them as yet.
