lifter galley crossover tube

Thanks to everyone that participating in this thread.
some may have lost interest in the first paragraph, and that is ok.
How ever i live for these kind of threads!
A little late on this thread but have a few question, that have been explain.........but i still don't get fully. First i have never heard about this 70* oiling, and it make sence but how does the cross drilling actually look. and why it is a BAD idea in most cases.
Explain more as to when it is a good idea and why.
2nt i would have been the first to jump on the theory that oil will always travel to the lower pressure. although i still believe this.(head porting theory) The anlage of the defrost/ heater duct sure got me thinking.

I think this kind of talk don't come out, or never get the discussion that we have had the privilege to have this time., Because 95 percent of us have never revved are engs past 7000 (on purpose) and probably only 1% have purposely built and eng to turn 8000+rpm.

When i built my 408 stroker i told my machinist that i wanted a bottom end that would hold up to 8000 rpm. Which he provide for me, but I built. From what my machinist suggested and what Guitar Jones provide, i felt i had a bulletproof bottom end. I did every thing that he suggested EXC. the crossover tube. The way i tried it on my test motor, i couldn't get the intake on. in the end i put on some nice RHS head and a cam that runs out of breath at 5800 rpm.(because that work with all the other part in my car.)

Any way some day/year/century, these mod may become Very important.
