A little different ... to my knowledge they havent also changed rockers (thereby rocker sockets), so I take it this means there might not be oil holes on the new intake pushrod ball ends. Oil pressure comes through the hydraulic lifters, through the pushrod, through the rocker body (different for exhaust valves) to the exhaust valve stem and guide. Much worse than a dry tappet clearance problem, depriving the valve of oil would be a disaster, so good call Lycoming, but why not make the reasons clear?!

The difference is the direction the oil squirts out. On the EXHAUST it squirts ONTO the Exhaust Valve. On the INTAKE it squirts AWAY from the Intake Valve. MANY an Engine Rebuilding Shop and Lycoming themselves have mixed up the rockers. If the oil does not squirt onto the Exhaust vale you will have coking on the valve and in the guide. There is a SB or SI that allows you to REPLACE the INTAKE Rocker with an Exhaust Rocker. I have been doing this for YEARS! Engine runs cooler and NO chance of mixing up the rockers.

I took that chance when I rebuilt my narrow deck IO-54 0 in Dec 2010 by putting exhaust rockers on the intake side as well. My old i ntake rockers had no oil jets at all. I figured it couldn=99t hurt and the intent was to increase oil flow to the heads to keep CHTs as low as pos sible. Prop governor oil pressure is also robbed from the RHS oil gallery an d apparently that=99s the side most sticky valves occur, most noticeab le with rough running on startup until the valve guides expand. Unfortunate ly, Lycomings hydraulic lifters were designed to be vertical and to remain f ull of oil (per their automotive engines) and the design isn=99t parti cularly suited to horizontal use.
