Rocker Arm V shaped capillary Valve Stem Oilers? - 03/21/24 08:47 PM
Hi All,
On my 1929 1-1/2 ton truck with the 194 HP Stovebolt engine, after removing the value cover I found bolted to each rocker arm upright a V shaped appendage with a capillary tube running down the middle of each arm of the V and employing a felt wick oiler at the tip of each V arm to lubricate each valve stem (in addition to the typical push rod oilers). Can anybody provide some background/historical information on this piece of After Market equipment?
Respectfully,
-Norm
