[old-chevy-truck] oiling
Hi All,Should there be a lot or little oil coming in the top of the engine around the lifters. I have removed the valve cover gasket and can lift the valve cover off after i shut the engine off after running for a few minutes and not much oil is present. Is this normal or should there be a good bit coming up inside valve cover and then draining back down thru the holes?Thanks, Robert __._,_.___ Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Run it with the valve cover off. You should have some oil coming out at EACH rocker arm. (The lifters are inside the engine so you can't see them under the valve cover.)

I would say a goodly amount. Is this the first time you have noticed? One time I saw where half of the rockers had lots of oil and the other half didn’t. Someone installed one of the rocker shafts upside down. Rotated it correctly and all had plenty of oil… Al Jones ’50 3100 From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com [mailto:old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of rl_westmorel...@yahoo.com Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 2:13 PM To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Subject: [old-chevy-truck] oiling Hi All, Should there be a lot or little oil coming in the top of the engine around the lifters.
