It's not uncommon for newer fuel injected cars to put a fuel filter down 
in the frame rail; my 86 Corvette has one there...but then the fuel 
pressure is higher to push it through as well.

The oil should be oozing out the hole in the top of each rocker. It will
then run down each leg of each rocker, lubricating the pushrod end and the
contact with the valve top/valve spring.  Bill in Oregon

Thanks for all the replies. I took off the valve cover and noticed while
running that oil is coming out of what looks like a hose in about the middle
in a pretty good stream. I assume this is where it should be coming from and
all is good. Any responses to this is appreciated.

Shouldn’t be coming out of the hose – this hose is what feeds the rocker rail – 
and the rocker rail feeds the rockers.  Is yours cracked or broken?  If so, 
time to replace it.  Also, what Bill in Oregon said.

Took my gas tank out and put some pieces of chain in it and shook it around, 
over all looks pretty good.

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

On the fuel filter, I've run an inline filter for the past several years 
mounted on the frame just a few inches from the tank cutoff valve.  Easy to 
change out when needed.

 Would you happen to have a part number for that filter to save me some

I just cut the line and spliced with rubber gas line hose with hose clamps on 
each end.  Then just went and got a "clear" plastic gas filter from the FLAPS.  
I can get a number off of it tomorrow but it's just a medium size clear filter.
