Anyhow I was looking at the oil tubes that go through the blocks down to the crankcase the ones that take oil up to the rockers. One of them had a solid steel rod in it. What on earth is that for??? I do not recall which one it come off of either. I sure want to know what it is for and how critical it is. Thanks. Richard [Reply]   [No Email]

All they do is slow the flow of oil to the rockers. [Reply]  [No Email]

I was glad to see that I do have all three. They do look easy to make if needed. The end that seats could be done on grinder fairly well. [Reply]  [No Email]

I am pretty sure I only have the one but I will check in the parts washer to make sure. Can I make one out of cold rold rod? If not of course I will get them from salvage. [Reply]  [No Email]
