Thread: I did it, 263 rocker shaft clean and oiling great

    I did it, 263 rocker shaft clean and oiling great

    As I mentioned in earlier posts, I had my engine running (sounded great) but I was not seeing any oil comming out of the rocker shaft where it is supposed to. After doing various tests I came to the conclusion that I had to remove and clean the rocker shaft. I did that yesterday. I also removed and cleaned the push rods. Now it seems to be putting out oil perfectly. I will post the details (and possibly pictures later). I just wanted to quickly post on my sucess (what a relief). In case you forgot, this is a car that sat for 20 years.
