Does anyone out there know the oil flow path for a 3.3 engine. I have changed out the worn rocker arms and rail they ride on , now I need to find out how the oil path flows to install a bypass.
Currently I have no to very minor flow to the rocker arms , is the oil path from the lifters up through the pushrods of is there an oil passage in the head that feeds the rail ?


Any help is appreciated!

The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pressure feed type. Oil from the Oil Pan is pumped by a internal gear type Oil Pump directly coupled to the Crankshaft. The pressure is regulated by a relief valve located in the Chain Case Cover. The oil is pumped through an Oil Filter and feeds a main oil galley. This oil gallery feeds oil under pressure to the main and rod bearings, Camshaft Bearings. Passages in the Cylinder Block feed oil to the hydraulic lifters and rocker shaft brackets which feeds the rocker arm pivots.
