My Traction has developed a problem with the rocker shaft. When I bought it, the pushrods were of various lengths, and there was little (or no) oil on the third rocker. I replaced the pushrods, cleaned out the shaft, and reinstated the whole in accordance with 103.16.
I didn’t do (b),replacing the expanding washers, should I have done? I thought that, as a little oil was on the rockers, rather than none, I would leave it, but a friend came by and said that there was really no oil on the head and using it was fraught. The oil way from the head at the rear of the engine is poor, and it’s an 11d head on an ID block.
Should I look at the oil pump, or is there something I’ve missed?
