Hi All,
How much oil should be dripping from the rocker arms while the engine is running? I started up the engine after adjusting the valves and saw hardly any oil dripping from the rocker arms or anywhere on the shaft. After I shut the engine off there were a few drips here and there. This isn't anything like I've seen on automobile engines. I thought I would have seen steady dripping from the length of the rocker arm shaft.
If there should be more oil flow, is checking the oil feed tube for a clog as simple as loosening the nut at the base of the tube and removing it and then cleaning the tube and flushing out the supply pipe in between the cylinder heads? And does the oil supply for the rocker arms come up fom the center cam shaft bearing?
Because this tractor was not well maintained I've pulled the oil pump and cleaned it out. It was full of sludge and gunk. I also checked the oil strainer and it looked pretty clean. Is there anything else I should check or clean while I have the side cover off.
I appreciate any suggestions or advice you might offer. Thanks!
