lifter galley crossover tube
I don't know what I'm babbling about, (I'm 60)
before the internet, all we had was what someone MIGHT share, and a few books.
so, it's good to see discussions like this.
Anyway, I just refreshed a stroker (4 years - idle or wide open)
reason to pull it was preventive maintence and hitting the rev (7000)...
broken rear twice, before going to a Dana, then broke a input shaft.
the rod bearings had lost tension, everything else check fine.
replaced main and rod bearings, new timing chain and gear, oil pump and pick-up tube.
could had only replaced the rod bearings, But, I know I'm gonna beat on it .
now for the part where I'm gonna get beat on...lol
My theory is the oil pump will pump 125 lbs pressure IF the relief valve stuck shut
My oil pressure runs 40-80 with reg mains and 20-80 with full grove mains
oil pump is opened up / ported to main cap
Heads are full time oiling with a .080 restrictor
in the head.
cam bearings are drilled for a .125" oil hole
timing chain gets oil by a .060" pee hole from the left oil gallery.
eng with full mains has both oil gallery front plugs drilled for chain oiling.
each eng also has the drivers rear plug drilled for dist. gear oiling.
just believe nothing runs like a "Well oiled machine"
Testing this theory 6.6 sec at a time....
