FIPG on rocker arm assembly? (1 Viewer)

[Cravati]

Putting the engine back together after a valve job.

Where the rocker arm assembly meets the head, there is no sealant or gasket. With the oil passage going through the two parts, wont oil leak out the side of that joint and reduce oil pressure to the rockers? Should some sort of sealant around the oil passage in between the head and rocker arm assembly be used?

Unnecessary, the machined surfaces will seal well enough for oil to flow. And I wouldn't want the chance of it getting into an oil passage.
