After upgrading to Comp cam steel roller tipped rockers I
was looking for pushrods.

Comp cam makes and jegs had in stock 5/16 CM pushrods the length I wanted. (9.130) They are for a Pontiac and have oil holes. The rockers are lubed from the rocker shaft. Will these work with the small oil hole?

Hi
I was assemling an engine last summer, found out the new pushrods did not have the oiling holes like the old one, after some searching I found out that rockers will get sufficient oiling without, som even say that you get higher oilpressure using pushrods without oiling holes...
So my guess is that for a normal engine with good oilpressure it does not matter, just my opinion.
Take it for what its worth ;)
