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

Jad
lighten up
CMcAllister gets it and made the exception for hyd lifters in his post previous page
comprende?
the reason to feed from the front and back is that the lifters block the right oil galley
The dumbbell ones are just that- they churn up the oil
and the good solid body ones block the passage
(which is why the passage is drilled when using them even when feeding from the front)
I have a long stepped reamer for doing just this- the pilot makes it go straight -
