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

Oldmanmopar said
My son nor I did this to these studs. They were done buy a well known engine shop. We only copied what he showed us on our Engine. We didn't do the original build on the 416. But you must either be jealous or on drugs Why would say that ? I am only trying to help those that want to know. If you don't agree Keep it to yourself.
Why are some of you just total *** holes .

The 416 indy R-3 made 829@7900 at the crank . and we found some little things wrong after 8 yrs. that we are correcting. HTA built it, Ray Barton Funded it

The 428 Batten X-block made 593@7200 @ the crank. That engine from Shady Dell ate itself .

We build cars just like you all do. And we learn from others that teach us things we didn't know all the time. Some of you all will never learn anything because you are all wrapped up in your own ego trip.

I have Time slips. But then you will know. And what fun will that be if we ever meet up in Pa.

I haven't seen any one mention anything to correct the oiling problem that would be close to sensible. Compared to what Dave taught us. Teach me .

After reading every single post in this thread, I am quite confused. In post #1 you say your son does it, post #28 you say yall do "every studded" smallblock you build, and then in post #43 you said yall didnt come up with the idea, I guess some guy named dave did. And you sorta seem all upset that the majority of responses have been along the lines of "its unnecessary" and now your angry. I mean, you started a poll, and when it didn't match your own opinions, that you ASKED for, you tell people to keep it to themselves. You come off as a angry, frustrated guy looking for attention.
