Somewhat new 383b build, shaft mount roller rockers not all oiling

[Geoff 2]

The rocker already has a recess/groove/gap for oiling, see post #10.
The problem is not the rocker, it is the holes in the shaft not aligning with the centre of the rocker; comparison of this shaft to a stock shaft will show the difference.

Ok, so I can honestly say I’ll never by this brand again.

Since our machine shop is busy doing paying jobs, I tigged all the wrong oil holes and ground them. Drilled new holes between the wear marks that were starting to show.

Now I’m seeing oil flowing over the top of the valve spring retainers and some oil coming out of the squirters to the stud and pushrod. I let it idle for 30 seconds or so with the valve cover off to witness this. Gave it a little rev and oil started going everywhere. Figured I’ll run it with the valve cover on up to temp and pull it to see if the pushrod cups are getting oil. They looked wet from running it yesterday for a bit.
