Harland Sharp oiling issue?

[moparman400]

from H.S.
Fits:
59-78 "B" & "RB" 350-440 - Indy SR


Special Notes:

• Needle bearings allow for more oil flow to the rockers.
• Oil restrictors may be necessary to maintain oil pressure.
• Kits Work with stock covers up to .900 lift, must remove oil baffles.

BB Mopar Trickflow 240 or 270 Heads:


***Designed Specifically for the Trickflow 240 or 270 Heads
the "KE" Series Rockers have improved valve stem alignment due to the rollers being moved inward towards the centerline .040***

It shouldnt take big psi to lube roller bearing rockers and still get oil in the pushrod cups. If your having trouble with heat /burning up pushrod tips , I would be more focused on the partnership of the mating surfaces.

I think they got "right" and "left mixed up in the photo. Whatever, the adjusters should be close together on each cylinder.

It does when the shafts have 8 more holes than necessary !!

sorry, but why did h.s.make them that way ? are you saying that H.s. doesnt know how to engineer a rocker system ? Why did they add

They flood the shafts to aid in oiling .

With the stock thru-the-cam interrupted oiling, at idle, I can’t imagine there being enough volume going to the heads to have the oil squirting out of the rockers.

Btw, what’s the lift of the new cam?

Are you using Trick Flow heads? If you are, and also using head studs, the studs might be restricting flow because the Trick Flow heads bring oil up to the rocker stand through the head bolt hole like on the Mopar small block (just both from #4 cam bearing.)

 

[Road Grabber]

Make sure you have the correct spacing between rockers that is given in the instructions. Also there is a specific number of threads to show or not to show during adjustment or oiling will be a because the hole in the rocker will be blocked. Push rod length is critical.
There’s a lot of information on this and yes calling them is your best bet since getting too much information from people can cause confusion. I always call the manufacturer tech to confirm.

Yes everything was brand new

Yes TF240 heads. I did this the #4 studs yesterday the goove is 2mm deep and 4.7mm wide (0.078” deep and 0.18” wide and they are not deburred on the picture) and they are clocked to the oilinghole in the stands. But after cambearing change the was a huge difference in oiling to the heads. Now everything was wet under the valvecover after a short testdrive (it was before i grooved the studs)
