[AT] Super MTA oil pressure

[Gene Dotson]

    Used to do a lot of work on the Ford Y-block engines.
272-292-312. Rocker arm oiling was a common problem with these.
Oil was delivered from the center camshaft bearings. Our
solution was a long drillbit that we ran through the oil
passage and into the camhaft bushing. Seems some of the
bushings were not aligned properly.
    I am wondering if the head gasket may be blocking the
passage?
