Re: [FWDLK] Rocker Shaft Installation in 1957 Dodge 325 Engine



The 57 truck service manual for the 315 says "the stamped arrow on the tube indicates the oversize bolt hole-upper side only"

Subject: [FWDLK] Rocker Shaft Installation in 1957 Dodge 325 Engine

Three years ago I had the 325 V8 engine of my 1957 Dodge Custom Royal rebuilt.  Since then, I have regularly been going through pushrods at the rate of one every one to two months during the driving season.  It’s a problem I’ve never experienced before the rebuild.  I’m sure this is caused by improper oil distribution to the rocker arms, but I’ve been unable to confirm it. 

 

I need a foolproof way to ensure proper rocker shaft installation so the oil gets to where it needs to be.  Can anyone confirm the correct orientation of the little arrow on each rocker shaft to ensure proper installation?  Any pictures of this that would be helpful?

 

Thanks for your help!
