    Boy do I feel dumb, Thanks Scott. Yes it is a 225oddfire and it is the shaft that the rockerarms sit on it has small holes all allong it besides the three mounting holes like adumby I took it all apart but didn't notice which way small holes were facing under rokerarms for oil return.Do they go towards pushrods or valve springs. Thanks Again

    from Jeep FSM:
    "Note: All three shaft supports of each rocker arm assembly are identical and interchangeable In the description to follow, "center" and "outer" refer only to their position on the shaft.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CAUTION: There are two different types of rocker arms, three of each type, in each rocker arm shaft assembly. They are not interchangeable. One face of each rocker arm has a notch; when installed on the shaft, this notched face must touch a shaft support.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CAUTION: oil ports of the rocker arm shaft must coincide with oil return passages of the rocker arms. If they do not, engine oil has no return path from the cylinder head to the crankcase; in that case, engine oil flows down the valve stems and burns in the cylinders. There is a notch at one end of each rocker arm shaft. When rocker arms are properly installed on the shaft, this notch will be at front of right (passenger)rocker arm shaft and at rear of the left (driver) rocker arm shaft."
    whew...hope this helps....

    Ok, Had to get new rockerarms & shaft, rockerarms have 2 holes in them 1 leading to the pushrod and 1 out the back towards valves, do the holes in the shaft line up with the pushrod holes or the outlet holes on the back towards valves
