AMC 327 rocker oiling question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My driver side rear rocker arm shaft bolt, the one with drilled oiling holes, had one hole blocked.  Also found that the rocker shaft had several bottoms oil holes blocked.  I’ve cleaned and checked everything but my concern is how do I know if I’m getting correct oil from the rear bolt hole?  Is there a way to flush and check the main oil path up to the drilled rear bolt?Engine is still in jeep, oil pan is off and rocker shafts are out.  Is it possible to use compressed air, penetrating oil, motor flush or something else in the rear bolt hole to flush the passage?  Thanks in advance.

	Fuel oil,brake cleaner,lighter fluid for the BBQ use OUTSIDE TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE. when you put it back together fresh oil and filter leave valve covers off pull spark plugs and put a jumper on the battery turn over and watch the rocker arm shafts oiling good luck

	You could pull the distributor and spin the oil pump shaft. I imagine you will see the oil flow thru the galley. I have a shaft from an old disty that I can chuck into a drill..
