Well, Thank's for all the Help. I did a search and found out the intake is .010 and the exhaust is .020 But! I have run into a Problem. I got this engine from out of an old car and I am going to put it in my 1980 Step side Dodge Ram 100.
Well, anyway I pulled the Valve cover off and while it was running I see that it is Not getting any Oil what so ever to the Valve's. I took off the Rocker arm's and everthing is Stopped up (Crusty) so I cleand everthing up where all the Hole's are clear and I was going to reinstall everthing But! I have noticed that the Bolt'a that hold the Rocker arm's down some are different and I do not remember which one's went where. also the Bolt's that hold down the Rocker Arm's down I turned the engine over without Cranking it and I see that there is Only (1) hole with Oil coming out. (Rear of the engine) SHOULD THERE BE MORE?? Or is there only That (1) hole?
Thank's

The oil for the rocker arm shaft comes upm thru the rear bolt hole only.
You can spray carb cleaner thru all the rocker arm passageways to be sure they are clear. (Bottom right photo at this web page)

Also be sure the shaft is installed in the correct position, if it does not have the oiling holes pointing to the 4:00 position. the rockers will not flow oil.
