[QUOTE="Clay, post: 86398, member: 3621"] I started following Bob Stafford's article. The tank is filled to just above the filter with clean oil. I removed the rocker feed pipes and adjusters and then turned the engine in top gear with the plug out but no oil is coming out of the rocker feeds. I've turned it maybe 50 times, If I put oil down the rocker feed holes from an oil can and turn the engine, the oil slowly flows down, it doesn't pump out. Can anyone suggest what to do now? The oil tank feed pipe is clear and oil is flowing freely when I disconnect it. The quill is also clean and oilway is clear. The ball bearings seem correct ( although it is dificult to know if the rear one is seated correctly as it rolls out under gravity). If I undo the four cover screws the cover seems to be well fixed to the pump body. Is this just going to be sealant ? I don't want to force it off if not. WhenI do get it off is anything likely to drop out that I need to be aware of? If anyone can advise the correct dismantly steps and process to check it would be really useful as I can't seem to find anything on the forum. [/QUOTE]
