Spencer, I take it that you are saying the IH valve train is like the Allis

> You should see more.   The center oil passage in the head, the one to
middle stud, is often blocked.   I fixed one Farmall A by removing the
remnants of a stud that had been broken.   Several little pieces in it.
The other was gunk in the stud.  Check the passage in the rocker arm too.
