[AT] Super MTA oil pressure

[D. Day]

If I remove the rocker arm assembly to begin checking the oil passage, will
it have to be re-adjusted when it's put back on?

Thanks for the help,

Dick

Dick,  I can't tell you about the M engine but on my Allis engines you wish
you were not standing near them.  They sling oil everywhere.  No gussher but
more like a wet dog shaking.  Sounds like you have an oil passage cloged on
the way to the valve train.
