Do you know of a source for squirter control caps to control the oil when adjusting the Scorpion rockers? I looked in the Scorpion catalog but didn't find any.

I wouldn't think you'd need any, often with rockers like those the angle and length of the hole is such that they are unlikely to squirt and if they do it hits the stud/nut and goes no further. Nor in all my days in the performance after market world have I seen a squirter cover that would work on those.

I haven't found any either. Maybe I can make something.
I definitely need them. I tried to adjust the lifters with the engine running and cut off valve covers installed. It was shooting oil over a foot up. What a mess!!

Squirting oil that much is bad, the oil never hits the rocker, it just flys over it hits the valve cover and drains away doing little or no good.

I'll pick up this discussion on a new thread. Maybe someone will have some suggestions as to what to do about the abnormal oil splash.
