Any one interested in the oiling mods I did?

LOL. I appreciate that. In all the books I have, not ONE talks about only doing the crossover with hydraulic lifters only.

If that’s the case, tube the block, drill small holes in the tube and restrict the oil to the drivers side with a set screw under the main bearing.

If I decide I want to look it up, I’ll go back through my books and see if they talk about hydraulic lifters and the crossover.

Who can turn enough RPM or get enough oil velocity with hydraulic lifters to cause an issue?


Again, this is what happens when you read all the books but you haven’t done it. At 8500 there is no room for mistakes.

And I seriously doubt that Glidden ever used a crossover tube. He didn’t run hydraulic lifters to the best of my knowledge. If he did, he was god on a cracker because he’d have been the only one doing it.
Yellow rose, that is why I use the term wet lifters bores. In this day and age we have more choices or reasons to send oil to the bores.
You may choose to use hydraulics, although like you said it's kinda pointless, but you could do it, you may want pushrod oiling, or in my case I have lifters that pressurize the roller lifter axles. So I just say wet lifters to make the point that a given builder wants oil in the bore. That's the point.
