LA small block,Do you put an oil passage in your head stud?

I have run both eddy heads and x’s with studs. It was a concern for me. I put it together and spun up the oil pump. Turn the motor over and got oil to both heads. I also pulled the oil cap and watched the oil flow at idle. More than enough flow. 4-5 hundred runs ago. Comp rockers, no needles for me.


If there’s a hole oil under pressure knows how to find it. Now if I was turning 9000 rpm and running low 8’s I would want to be positive every drop was going to the right spot. If I was only running 9’s I wouldn’t be shifting at 9000 rpm unless I was a super stock racer. And that won’t be happening.
