Hey brother, right away I notice something that you need to fix; one of your rocker shafts is correct(with the holes facing down to keep oil film between the rockers and the shaft)…the other one is showing the holes facing up! You need to flip that over asap-it’s a blessing that you only had very little wear on everything cuz that would be bad to continue running it that way. It’s a common mistake but make sure you fix it so your good little 318 will live a long life. 🙂
At 0:13 the passenger side looks (good)-solid shaft between the rocker arms.. now go to 1:06, the drivers side has the shaft flipped downside up where the oil is supposed to be creating a lubricant barrier between the shaft and the rocker. Just carefully roll it over and bolt her back down. You’ll also pick up oil pressure and horsepower from the reduction in parasitic loss. Hope this helps brother
Very nice
Thanks! Hopefully it doesn't give me anymore trouble.

Which One needs to be flipped?
