Roller rocker question
i just installed a set of prw stainless full roller rockers and am a little concerned with the oiling. I know they need less oil since they dont cause as much friction but these have very little oil comming out of them.
Im used to my old stamped rockers that would shoot oil across the garage theses just kinda dribble out and not very much at that.
Does anyone have these kind of rockers and is that normal for the oiling?

Re: Roller rocker question
Mine seems to kinda ooz out a little slow too... Then again, my gauge only reads up to 30 and never more and my oil pan is dented in, which could mean pickup damage. It's ran for about 6 months now though so I don't know... But mine doesn't "shoot" out either.

Re: Roller rocker question
thats the thing im getting damn good oil pressure like 30psi idling when hot. and i checked with the pushrods out im getting a lot of oil in the top of the lifters and the pushrods are filled with oil but its just not a whole lot comming from the rockers.
