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

I really like your Duster. Especially the way it leaves the line.

As for the first post I wrote it.

"This is a combination of my thoughts and ideas taken from the Guitar Jones oiling system modifications thread.
If you have some input that would help along these lines and to clarify some of the thinking you're more than welcome to post but if you think that you just need to post negative don't bother I'm not interested."

There is nothing wrong with what GJ posted. I do most of it. Again, the issue is with RPM. You can't get the inlet side too big and you need to correct the oil timing to the rods. Have you ever done an autopsy of a Chrysler that had a high RPM Rod oiling issue???? If you had, you'd KNOW that the mains look brand new. There is oil to the mains. Always. And since the mains get oil first, and they aren't out of oil, I want you, in your own words, explain how the crossover tube will fix that. In fact, several times, if I caught it quick enough, I did reuse the main bearings after knocking a bone out. That's because there oil is there, it's just not at the right time.
