I also never disagreed with you on the oil timing issue.
I only disagreed on how you fixed it.
The key thing that I think people miss is that regardless of whether you choose to tube or bush the block or run the crossover line,
Both methods require you to plug the end of the galley on the passenger side.
Sorry, do you mean the driver side / left side.
IIRC, the MP engines book does not say to block the oil feed or use a Allen head set screw to block oil on the right / passenger side. That valley still feeds the front main and rods, IIRC
Jadas discussion on this thread is about the crossover method to deal with the galley problem.
The crossover tube is for Hyd. lifters, roller or not.
Correct?
the common issue is the blocking of the end of the galley which cuts the leakage completely from the drivers side and #1 main and rod no longer have the entire drivers side rocker and lifter oiling being taken off of number #1 main which is also starving the rods fed from that main.
