-2- Oil feed to rockers found inadequate. Tappet filter examined and found to be badly sludged up. Cleaned and replaced. Oil supply then correct. A slight oil weep came from the .015 holes, and was slightly less in the case of the asbestos filled rockers. The quantity was very small, and a change in feed one way or the other is expected after the pads become thoroughly saturated. The oil feed to the ball ends was good.
