Just got it running. Lots of oil out the holes in the forward half of rocker arm assembly. Not much out the rear half. Took it apart, cleaned the tube, reassembled, same thing. Is it normal to have such a difference of oil flow.

It isn't too unusal for one end to get a bit more than the other, you will be ok asl long as some is dripping off the rockers and shaft, These rockers don't require a whole lot of oil, just enough to keep them oily, don't look for them to squirt all over everywhere like those on a Small block or a late model six with the new style rockers pivoting on a knob.

There is a restrictor between the center over flow fitting and the rear shaft that reduces the flow to the rear.This is normal for this model.

Mike-Had the same problem on a 33 Master-Had about an inch of sludge in the pan-or more-cleaned that out and fixed the problem-I tried the same things you have-finally pulled the pan-
