Owen, This is probably a dumb question but What is the "rocker assembly" you refer to here? Isn't the engine a flat head? The only rocker assembly I can think of is the rocker assembly associated with an over head valve engine.


My thought on the oil loss, assuming a flat head 8, is the plug at the back of the cam shaft. Maybe the mechanic didn't replace the plug and that's where your leak is. I think if that is leaking the oil would exit any opening at the bottom of the bell housing.


It will be interesting to hear the solution to this problem.
