Default Re: Y Block Rocker Shaft Overflow Tube

Just got home from helping my friend fire up his 292 for the first time, we were just talking about this topic, and here it is on the top of the list.We didn't see much oil up in the valve covers, rocker shafts, so we shimmed up the oil pump spring and got good flow. That's when this idea came up. We both used to circle track 406 and427 FE's, the circle track trick on those was to insert a copper tube in the oil gallery hole to the rocker shafts, then screw in a carb jet. Worked good, nice flow at the rockers, plenty of oil down below. Mark
