Posted June 30, 200915 yr comment_288394 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 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/32402-rocker-arm-oil-sprayer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 30, 200915 yr comment_288398 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,Carl B.

June 30, 200915 yr Author comment_288405 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!! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/32402-rocker-arm-oil-sprayer/#findComment-288405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 30, 200915 yr comment_288412 You can buy a new spray bar from Motorsports......I believe I paid around $65.00. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/32402-rocker-arm-oil-sprayer/#findComment-288412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
