All Small Six Help! Did I just screw up my new build?

This is what I had:

@drag-200stang as I understand, on adjustable rocker arm there is no oiling for the pushrods. I’m sure there are tons of people who used them with hydraulic lifters, but just wanna make sure that it’s not an issue. As mentioned before, with valve cover on and higher rpm, oil is splashing everywhere

There is oiling for the pushrod on adj. rockers, it comes out of the rocker at the adjustment screw/ball and flows down the screw/ball to the pushrod cup, over and down the push rod. No issue for hyd. lifters.

A member on here used an adjustable PVC valve and had good results.

That’s a very nice piece! And you are right, a bit pricey lol
If the one I’ve ordered is not gonna work out, this will be my next step, thanks for the link!

I'm using that one you linked from Summit: ACDelco Gold PCV Valves 19310788. It seems to work as well as the ancient one that was on mine originally. My old one was probably fine and rattled when I shook it but for less than $5 I thought it would be silly not to put it on the new engine. I've tried it with both and there is no noticeable difference.

For the sake of interest, as a test, I might put a breather on my catch can block the vacuum port on the log to see if there is any difference in how it idles and runs. It'll have to wait for some nicer weather around here though. Probably a few more weeks.

That’s good. Amazon says it fits the I6 but doesn’t fit the 390. It’s not a generic one
