    forged rockers with bushings

    Does anyone know if the forged rockers on the old 911 engines (65, 66 & 67) that had bushings had holes drilled in them for oil circulation purposes similar to the newer cast iron rockers? I've looked on this forum and see different varieties of forged rockers. If someone has a stock set with original bushings, can you post a picture of the bushings? Thanks.

    Thanks and that's helpful but thinking those rockers look different from the early forged steel rockers that I've seen. They look more like the weaker cast steel rockers on the later engines but I'm no expert. Do you know what year engine those rockers are from?

    They are adjustable forged rockers, you can tell by the chromed rocker foot.

    I'm with gled49 on this one.
    My 66 911 engine has the same forged rockers
    with oiling holes, bushings and hard chrome faces.

    I concur, here's a picture of a bushing I removed from a forged rocker.
