I recently fired up my rebuilt 235 for the first time, and I only have oil to the rear rocker arms. The front ones don't seem to be getting any. I took the assembly off to check for anything wrong, all the holes line up and theres no blockage. The feed tube fron the head that connects the two shafts did have a hole where it bends back to the head, which I welded, and I also pinched the the open end of the tube some, but not completly. I'm using a staight grade 30 wt. oil which is what I used before it was rebuilt.The source for the oil is fed from the manifold side of the engine, up to the head. I never trusted that feeder tube thats in the lifter galley.
The car its in is a bit lower in the rear then the front, but I wouldn't think that would matter since the oil is under pressure, but you never know.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
