Just rebuilt my TR3 engine. Before starting, I rigged up a shaft and drove
the oil pump with a drill to precharge the oil lines and check for leaks.

To my surprise there was no oil coming up to the rocker arms. Checking
further I found the only path for the oil was from the rear cam bearing.
There didn't seem to be any direct connection to the oil galley.  Am I
missing something, just how does the rocker shaft get oil ?

A second problem, I found I'm missing an oil galley plug.  The Moss
catalog list the part as NA.  Is there another source?
