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

Jadaharabi said

He is an engineer that has worked for Chrysler and wrote the book on how to make a small block live.
He showed Carl my old boss how to do it and modified his block for him that was run in it the old John Force funny car that he owned in B Econo funny.
There are people that have done the crossover on circle track motors and drag race motors and boat motors and street motors that think differently.
If you have a better way to make a sbm live at high rpm show me some proof.

Want me to make a video?? I can. If you want to see why the Chrysler doesn't oil, look at the Chevy. And find the difference.

I don't care who wrote the book. He is wrong. I'd tell him to his face. Junk **** mods like that casused me to kick a bunch of rods out of very expensive blocks. So I have done it. I have fixed it. I have explained it right here, more than once.

You ain't fixing **** with that crossover tube. We need to STOP passing bad info around like herpes. If you personally know that author, PM me and we can conference call him and I'll explain to him why he's wrong.


Edit: I most likely have the book. Several months back this was a topic and I didn't have the particular book that IIRC Duane was using so I bought the book to see for myself. It's pretty evident that NONE of these people ever made power over 8000 RPM's or they'd fix what they write. And no, a dry sump doesn't fix it either.
