The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Y Block rocker shaft changes for better oiling

maybe hollow rocker stand?
I used a pipe cleaner (hell of a time finding them)
to clean the passage in the head. I tapped the hole for the tube in the end stand and
plugged it. (hollow pushrods too) Plenty of VR-1 runs through the shaft (new rockers and shaft).
Some of the problem I see is using used rockers that are worn and dumping the oil so it cannot travel to the next rocker.
