I recently purchased this car and am really hoping to be able to get it to the 50 years of Cougars at Carlisle. When I first got it running, there was a tick in the driver side valve cover that turned out to be number 5 exhaust pushrod eating into the rocker. The rocker appeared to be oiling normally. There was no evidence of what caused the failure. Fast forward a few months and the same rocker is completely dry. The pushrod is clear and the lifter looks normal (as far as I can tell without removing manifold). I am not above replacing the lifters which can be done with the motor in the car. I am also not above pulling the motor and replacing bearing shells, oil pump, rod nuts, lifters, and setting a performance cam. I would like to find what is causing this so that I can put this issue to bed. BTW, the pics show a shiny rocker arm on number 5 intake because I replaced the intake valve parts with new and moved the good rocker/pushrod from #5 intake to #5 exhaust as those parts were worn in. Any ideas?

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
