lifter galley crossover tube

Bought this block with this mod already done. Keep it or ditch it? Passenger side is also tubed.

Im lost on that one. That cross over makes no sense to me. If you tubed the passenger side gallery so you stop oil leaks at the lifters, you should have stopped oil going to the drivers side with a plug under the number 1 main bearing. There should be no oil on the drivers side at all.

I can't understand why you would put oil back on the drivers side, or why you'd have oil going all the way down the passenger side, down to the crank, around the number 1 main, back up to the drivers side, into the crossover and back over to the passenger side where the oil already was.

Or, why is the oil going into the crossover to the drivers side, where you don't want any oil in the first place?

Let us know what you are trying to accomplish and then maybe it will make sense. As of now, I'm lost. Which is nothing new for me.
