Tubing the gallery with a twist

Needswork said

This has me a little bit worried, I was going to use the exact same lifter but have not yet selected a cam. One cam I was considering has .630 lift at the valve (1.5 rocker).
Ironmike, would you be willing to share details on your cam lift and spring pressures? Is it a steel cam core?

I'll say it again...you can have .575 lift and have the lifter uncover that hole. If you are not running hydraulic lifters tube the oil gallery. It isn't hard. If you are running hydraulics, you can feed them with a 3/32 hole in the tube. The problem becomes the drivers side. Unless you block all the oil off going there, you'll still have issues. Some day, I'll look at tubing the drivers side as well.
