If the spit works anything like the TR-2/3/4, the rocker assembly is
fed by the oil going to the rear cam bearing. If the cam bearings
aren't installed properly, no oil comes up from the cam. In the
TR-2/3/4 there's an external line that can be run from the block to
the head to provide more flow. On the TR-4, that's where the problem
would most likely be rather than in the rocker assembly itself.
One way to check is to put the rocker assembly back on the car but
leave the valve cover off. Start it up. If you coat the whole
engine compartment with oil being flung off of the valve train you
don't have an oil delivery problem. If things stay pretty dry, you
do have a problem. I'm guessing that others have a better / less
messy way to check... :)

Hi all,
Is there an easy way to see if oil is getting all the way through
the rocker arm assembly? It is currently off the car.
Chris pointed out that part of my problem with the adjusting screws
may be that they aren't getting lubed. It makes sense as it is they
are on 1 and 2 valves. The furthest from the oil supply.
Thanks everyone.
Roger
