I read recently about Tim McMaster's pressurized rocker arms for increased oiling to the valvetrain. I also noted some people here mentioned also machining the center groove on their camshaft deeper as well. Is this necessary for a street engine? Is it a must if I'm going to upgrade my rockers? I am going to install an Isky cam(#301333), is there a way I can tell if the depth has already been machined to the appropriate depth? Are there any other oiling updates I should consider while my engine is apart? Any advice and information is greatly appreciated.
