Re: Resurfacing V8 Rocker Arm Pads

Briefly: Packard V8 overhead valve train wear is due to a LACK of oil to the overhead. I drilled 3 of my rockers (3 on each head) just above the pushrod seat so that oil would squirt out like a Chevy V8. There is more to this procedure.
NOTE: The EARLY 55's Packard V8's had such a hole in the rocker but it was dropped in production about mid 55.
