Case 580B oil question

ANGUS BEEF ยท 2022-07-28 17:37

Engine on Case 580B was rebuilt but Mechanic is scratching his head. How does the oil get circulated into the head? He was explaining to me that the head gasket has a hole in it for a port but the head does not. He said theres a port or galled in the middle and one in the rear but nothing matches up with the head as far as the gasket. Does the camshaft lubricate the head and circulate the oil.Does anyone have any pictures from a manual. Im sorry. Obviously i dont have a manual or i would know. Thanks for any help.

    There is a hollow bolt holding the rocker assembly feeding the rocker shaft. It is the rear one if I remember correctly. Vern
