It's an old pic of my rear crank before I cleaned anything, just to illustrate what a clogged oilway looks like!

as it looks like there are no rocker spindles...
Are those important?
Are the barrel flange nuts missing as well?
Probably

Thanks for the comments.
The bike sat in a Nebraska barn 62 years.
The head was sitting loose on the cylinders when I got it.
Engine was disassembled, cleaned crank passage, new pistons.
Still working on oil leaks and speedo cable.
Some photos.
