Pressed Steel Rocker - re-bushing help!

Hi,

I have succefully taken off all bushes from pressed steel rockers (850).

I have found that I need to pre-drill oil holes before fit again the bush, my question is:

- Where do I do this 3 mm hole?

The original bushes are different from new ones. Where is the screw drivers is where the hole is, and I place a bearing outside in same position.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

You don't need to drill the bushes. Where is the oil suppose to go? Only the S rockers had an oilway to the adjuster screw. I guess they just used the same bush at the factory.

I was under the impression, maybe wrong, that oil weeps through the rockers.

the oil should get to the adjuster screw and run down the thread to lube ball and pushrod ,that is why there is a hole in it and with cast rockers must be drilled from screw adjuster end of rocker to bush then outer hole filled in end of rocker
