OIL MODS

And it still doesn't fix the oil timing issue. That's what kills bearings at high RPM. At 1965 designed SBC style oiling system will oil the rods efficiently to 10k yet, depending on several other parameters 8000 is about max on a Chrysler without correcting oil timing. And that year SBC oiled the lifters first.

It was a piss poor bean counting decision to time the oil feed the way it was done. You could forgive the thinking somewhat, if you consider the people at that time thought 7000 was in the stratosphere.

Yes I remember our oil timing conversation. It’s one hell of a modification. If I remember correctly, you must tap into the main caps at 6 o’clock and feed them oil from there instead.
