those rocker balls do that all to frequently if you don,t keep them bathed in oil .....
I checked all the old lifters and pushrods, and they seem fine. Funny thing. This is the rocker right beneath the oil filler cap.:lol:
UHHH....oil filter cap in a stock VC is right between a valve pair.....
not above any valve
there is a drip rail on the cover with a tab sticking down that catches oiling at high rpms' and drips onto that ball.....
