1 rocker arm oiling issue???

Hello everyone

I have been reading some in this forum to get some feedback on my issue but not been able to find exactly what I'am looking for.

My problem is that I dont get oil from the rocker arm shaft to the rocker arm exit holes (or whatever it's called) on either side of the rocker. It is only one rocker that has this problem.

I have good oil flow from the owerflow holes on both sides, and when I am looking on all of the rocker arms I have a good oil flow on all pushrods and valvesteams accept for this one and only.

I have tried to flush the rocker arm with lubrication/solvent oil in the exit hole and I have a flow thru to the rocker arm because it exits around the shaft. I have also pushed the rocker arm to the side so that I could do the same thing with the hole in the rocker arm shaft, and it also showed to be open pass way.

How does the rocker arm locks like on the ID is there any groove that passes the oil flow from rocker arm shaft hole to the exit holes on the rocker arm. I was wondering if this groove is clogged up and thats the reason why I am not getting any oil to this rocker.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Yes there is a groove in the bushing along with two holes that should be lined up with the two holes in the rocker arm.
