Anyone have valve spring oilers on their Aerovee or Revmaster ? Looking to build my own or copy someone's idea. Just using the little background in engine building I have and thinking continuous operation at 3000 RPM for long periods of time, this could assist in cooling the heads and prolonging the life of the valves, springs, guides and rocker assemblies.

Not springs particularly, but valves and heads for sure.

Some of the mods can be done on an assembled engine by pulling the rocker shafts, others need a split case. The extra drilling of the case I will not try again, me. And I'm not convinced grooving the rocker shafts is necessary if you connect the inlet and outlet oil holes in the rockers. But all the other mods are easy-peasy.
