How do Rockers get Oiled when using Solid Lifters?
I was just wondering ... Hydraulic lifters pump oil up through the pushrod to oil the rockers. So how do the rockers get oiled when using solid lifters?

It's a pressurized system.

Oil is pressure fed to the lifter bore and a small hole in the lifter channels the oil through the lifter ~> pushrod ~> rocker, etcetera.

Oh, so it's pretty much the same as the hydraulic lifters I guess.

Thanks!
