The cylinder head oil hole is never in alignment with the block -- it is offset. A passage needs to be created to flow oil to the head and thus to the rocker shaft

What is the result of your test? Does the oil flow already?

Regarding the rocker tip damage,
I had this happen to me and was told it was due to valve float.
What do the valve stem tips look like? Are they damaged also?
Have you confirmed the valve springs are not stacking solid at full lift?

Regarding the scoring on the ID of the rocker arm,
The last time I assembled my cylinder head rocker arm assembly, I noticed that I torqued the rocker tower bolt too tight and the rocker became too difficult to move by hand. Basically, I was crushing the rocker shaft and it was not round. Luckily, I loosened the bolt and retorqued and all was well again.

Thanks for your replies.

I have no oportunity to make the test on oil flow because i took of the engine of, when i have the oportunity i will assembly a starter and test the oil passage. Now im geting ideias and knowldeges from you with experience and trouble solutions.

The valve stem its ok no damgages, i notice the valve springs are stacking solid at full lift, the engine is very stuck it is dificult to move it with a wrench on cranckshaft pulley, but when i removed the rocker arns, the engine moves slowly with no prison.

Thanks Again

Luis

Hi!

Only on November i will make the oil head test im far from car....

I read on springs specifications:

"This item is worthy of middle class specifications enough.(To about 8,000 rpm spec)
They are Valve Springs popular very much in JDM.
The double valve springs control Valve Surging at the time of high rpms.
It supports; cam lift - 6.5mm, valve lift - 9.4mm"


And the cam lift is 0.298" or 7,57mm that is i saw on paper..


Cam lift 7.57mm is biger than the spring can suport?????

Please let me know

First off; the GX valve springs will not support the cam you have. The cam you have is near 11mm valve lift.

I'm running similar cam lift and when I assembled the motor I checked the GX springs for bind and couldn't even get a feeler gauge in between the coils to measure them, clearly they were binding. Check Iskederian's website, I used their springs.

As for checking the oil passages; you can use an oil can to pump oil through the head to check the passages.

I have contact the Iskenderian, and they inform me to verify the coil biding, perhaps it is the problem to cause the wear on the rocker arms, and in other hand acording with Dave and Tom i will verify the oil circuit on cylinder head.

Im afraid the coil biding makes serious problems on camshaft.

Aparently i cant see any wear its smooth on lobes no scratches. I dont know if gains some wear..... f.......

one lobe appears lack of material.

Thanks


Luis
