My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block

First of all I have watched your videos. The oil pressure response is what tells me something , not the actual number. I don't like what I see. You have an oil plug missing (best case scenario) or excessive main bearing clearance. The way it lags behind RPM changes is not a good sign. It is probably gushing oil around the lifters as rollers are usually -.001" smaller which is quite a bit of area but the way it responds is the tell tale. Good luck. J.Rob

Would you mind giving me a quick rundown on the best way to check all that. I imagine i'll be taking the timing cover off as well? Will I have to remove my gear drive?
