Magnum block mdded to oil LA heads?

If you plumb direct into the shaft, then you'll need to put a restriction in that line somewhere or it may over-oil the rockers and take pressure from the main system. The main flow restriction point in the LA system is where the rocker bolts down to the particular stand where the oil come up; the hole in the shaft and the bolt going through form the smallest (and controlling) restriction point in the flow path to the rockers.

BTW, I would take it from the passenger side gallery; I would expect more consistent pressure there.


What actually controls oil flow to the shafts is the amount of time the holes in the cam line up with the holes in the block.

You can do it externally. I have.

I used #4 line from the oil pressure port. Used a T to feed both sides. I used a bulkhead fitting in both valve covers. Then I tapped into the rocker shaft at the regular feed spot on the shaft. That will give you full time oil to the rockers.
