OK, so in my engine teardown I got just a little over-zealous in trying to remove the oiler tube from my 223 and it's now twisted and needs to be replaced.

I've done some basic searching and it seems this part is pretty hard to come by these days. Would it even be worth it to try and fabricate a replacement? Could I just use a similar size steel tubing with the correct bends?

 

Whatever you do, don't believe a word of what ND tells you or may tell you....Lol

There are two different rocker arm tubes for your application:

1954/60 F100/600 223 I-6 / 1961 F100/600 223/262 I-6 / 1962 F100/600 223/262 I-6 before serial number 280,001 // 1954/59 223 I-6 Ford Passenger Cars.

EAA-6580-B .. Valve Rocker Arm Shaft Oil Inlet Tube / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

B5A-6588-B .. Valve Rocker Arm Shaft Oil Outlet Tube - approx. 12 13/16" O/A length / Obsolete

KLIMESH MOTOR SALES in Calmar IA has 1 = 563-562-3241.

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 5 = 800-476-9653.

 

Dang - 6580 is the one I need

 

Look on e-Bay as I keep seeing them pop up there all the time.
