I had something similar like 25 years ago. Had a neighbor who worked in the transformer industry. He knew all about oil. My oil was milky too. He told me he could tell there was like a tablespoon of water in the oil. That’s all it takes. I say change the oil and see if it does it again. I think...

You and I disagree on very little. It’s just the cause and effect part where we differ. I would assume that anyone who starts to modify the oil passages already knows the basics like inlet and pan etc. This isn’t done for a daily driver. I am not a follower. Never done the crossover thing. I...

I am not going to get into your oil timing. I addressed that to you 3 years ago and you have Sanborns notes. Slotting the bearing shells and the bearing saddle fixes that. If you can’t understand the velocity issue, you won’t understand what slotting those bearings is doing either.

All I can say is what Jada said. It is beyond you to understand. You understand how to correct the problem. You understand the leaks at the lifters being a problem. You don’t understand the why. And I don’t know how else to explain it to you. Yes Glidden was a mortal man. The true test of any...

The Chev does not have the velocity problem because it has 3 dedicated galleys. All 3 of them are plugged at the end of the run. The chev does not share valvetrain and lifter oiling with the crankshaft oiling. The Chrysler due to its design, tries to oil 16 lifters. The drivers side galley gets...

Show me another way to feed the drivers side.

Both of these mods are designed to cut or restrict oil to the lifters. That’s a given. No argument from me there. There is just more than one way to do it. I agree with you that installing a crossover tube and nothing else is not effective. I took the time to email you Sanborns notes. Please...

In your last paragraph you say the front oil boss is for dry sump. Yes you could use it that way, if class rules allow. You say that in front oiling, that all the oil is from one feed, unless you pull the oil off before it gets to the main. Well you have Sanborns notes. You pull the feed out of...

Lol

Velocity is just another word for excessive flow or speed if you will.The crossover line does supply oil to the other side and if done right only slows the oil at #3&4 main, the majority of the speed is killed by the front setscrew. When you tube the passenger galley, it cuts the leaks to the...

And why is your comment only directed at me ?

lol, I have often wondered about this lol.

Why do you think Chrysler designed front oiling bosses right into the casting of the “X” and “R” blocks if they thought it was not beneficial. The guy made you a simple drawing which is representative of the small block and asked you to explain why you are saying two columns of oil won’t flow...

Ah there is probably a reason that yellow rose has come back on the forum with a new name. Can you guess what it is. lol

There’s a washer or a flange on the bolt in the pic. That’s not the right bolts. Too thick.
