[AT] Super MTA oil pressure

[D. Day]

Taking a look at the camshaft is next on the list.  I used a long wire and
was able to push it down into the oil passage, past the head clear down to
the camshaft, so I'm pretty sure the head gasket is ok.

    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?
