rocker arm oil sprayer

Featured Replies

Not sure what it is called but it is the bar that sprays the rocker arms with oil.

I need one as I noticed when adjusting my valves that one end was very loose and the middle bar pretty much spun freely. On a side note how much would this affect my oil pressure.

If anyone has a spare please let me know how much or where I can get one.

Thanks,

Mike

You can just clean the metal and solder {or braze} the tubes back in place. They weren't welded in there to begin with.

Oil pressure - is really needed to support the main bearing/crank interface. Past that point oil volume is more an issue. The spray bar provides a good volume of oil distributed along the cam/rocker interface, and that oil then drains back to the pan. So the condition of the spray bar has little to no effect on oil pressure.

FWIW,

Good to know, I did notice that it was brazed at one time but has since loosened up. I'll pull out the tig and put a nice tack on the bars.

Thanks for your expertise Carl!!

You can buy a new spray bar from Motorsports......I believe I paid around $65.00.
