There are oil passageways in the top of the head and the bottom of the rocker arm supports, pressurized oil goes up there and into the rocker arm rail where it comes out of small weep holes.
few pics
The oil travels up around the headbolt clearance.

Yeah....not much clearance around those head bolts. I do however see one hole in the middle that oil is pumped through to the rocker assembly.....but just one
It could be worse. You could have an F motor with that funky copper tube feed. Mine broke and farked the entire vavle train.
Oil arrives through that one hole in the rocker assembly by way of the #4(or was it #3?) cam bearing.
Oh, it changed around between the F, lateF and 2F...just enough to occasionally confuse a rebuilder and lead to some hilarious threads.
Yup! Ran into that trying to swap out an F valve train!
To clarify, the path from bottom to top for oiling.
On a 2F, pump to oil filter to crank journal to cam bearing to top of block, thru passage in the head gasket to a head bolt. Oil travels around the head bolt in the head up to a horizontal passage which comes out in the middle of #4 rocker. This passage was factory drilled and plugged. This is the famous plug that falls out.
On an F engine I think the oil pump has a fitting on it that connects to a copper tube which travels thru holes in the block and head up to the rockers and screws on.
