Fred ,

This is from an article taken from TR Action many years ago .

"To improve rocker lubrication , plug the rocker vent hole so that oil 
is forced through the rocker bush instead of out through the top. An 
external oil line is not recommended as this could be dangerous for 
the rest of the engine if too much oil went to the rockers and not 
enough to the main bearings etc. This could also increase oil 
consumption if the valve guides are worn".

Collective wisdom on plugging the vent ??
