<VV> Oil poured down the rockers

[Edelstein and Payne]

    Tony mentioned pouring oil down the air intake grill to let it seep down to the rockers, is this "real" or a joke.  I understand that the rcokers are prone to rust, particularly if the drains get plugged, but is this a "legitimate" (or even "quasi legitimate") approach to protecting them. 

     My son and I are currently re-building his 65 coupe, and if this is something that will help the rust problem, we'll do it while its up on jack stands in the shop (probably for another 6 months anyway) and let it seep out while we're re-building it.
