I just had the rockershaft assemblys out of my 56 to clear the oil feed holes.I reinstalled one without the trays simply because it was easier than trying to line up the holes in the trays.I understand they were discontinued after 56.Do I need to put them back in?.I reset the the valve adjustment which I was doing anyway and it works fine.Were the pushrods a different length when used with the trays?
