Rocker Arm Assembly Ford 3600

Bearclawjj · Jul 15, 2016

Hello, new to this board! Question for the more knowledgeable. Replacing a head gasket on my Ford 3600 and trying to figure out how the rocker arm assembly is oiled, how oil gets to the shaft and rockers? The head studs (4) do not have a hole for the oiling..So how does that work??? Thanks, Bearclawjj.

Did you notice how much oil was in the head bolt holes for the bolts that hold down the rockers? There's your clue.

Thanks, Mr Bern! Figured it out. Yes those holes were full. I assume the stud threads bypass the oil galley, and the pressure forces it up the stud (as the hole is larger)to the stand to inside the shaft and out the bottom holes underneight the rockers! Pretty cool! Thanks again for your response! 40 year old tractor and it still pulls hard, cylinders have little to no piston ring lip...
