Hey Mr. DH,
As I recall, there is only one pedestal that carries oil to the rocker arm shaft, and it is not the elongated hole that makes it possible so much as the "necked down" bolt that goes through that pedestal. Make sure that you get the proper bolt in the proper pedestal.

While we may be getting older, we're also getting better.
