Re: [Chrysler300] Oiling Question

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxx>]

Matt,
The oil passage to the rockers is supplied with oil when drilled portion of 
the cam journal is lined up with it and the passage up from the main 
bearing. This setup gives a metered amount of oil to the rockers when the 
engine is turning but oil won't flow when priming the system unless the 
crank happens to be positioned to line up a pair of holes.
Sounds like everything's fine.
Mike
