A friend and I built a simple rig that holds about 1/2 quart of oil w/ a
fitting on top for an air hose, and a fitting on the bottom that hooks to
the connection on the top of the head that normally feeds oil to the rocker
shaft. Put about 5 psi to it and push the oil into the engine. The rocker
arms can be lube'd with a squirt can. We used it on 3 Healey engines and
his XKE engine. Seems to work good.
