Anyone have any pictures of the hose so i can tell if it is broken off or cracked?---In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com wrote: Shouldn’t be coming out of the hose – this hose is what feeds the rocker rail – and the rocker rail feeds the rockers.

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. Took my gas tank out and put some pieces of chain in it and shook it around, over all looks pretty good. Anyone ever put fuel filter in line between gas tank and fuel pump? In pictures that i find on the internet all seem to show up next to carb. Robert ---In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, jonesal@... wrote: I would say a goodly amount.

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!

It's really a steel pipe, correct? Put your hands and eyes on it - you will know.
