 +===== Oil Lines to the Rockers =====
 +There are rubber grommets on both ends of the oil lines. ((IronMick of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=753175&​highlight=split+rocker+box)) \\
 +Some guys install two on each end, which is a wrong thing to do. \\
 +Sometimes the rubber from an improperly installed grommet plugs the oil line. \\
 +Before going into the gearcase (to check for low / no oil to the rocker boxes); \\
 +Remove both oil lines, and check the rubbers on both ends of each. \\
  
 ===== Rocker Box ===== ===== Rocker Box =====
 +The feed to the rockers is not a large diameter passage and not a lot of oil goes to the rocker gear. ((Ferrous Head of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=753175&​highlight=split+rocker+box)) \\
 +But if you pull the lines off with the engine running you should be getting a good steady flow out of them. \\
