Post his notes if you don’t mind. I haven’t read those in probably two decades. I’m sorry to say I can’t even remember when he passed.

And I just learned today a brilliant guy on another forum passed in December.

To that end, you are making my point. My memory was he was using pushrod oiling.

Once you block the oil to the drivers side lifters IF you are using pushrod oiling OR hydraulic lifters although I can’t reason why you would run a hydraulic lifter in a performance engine except for rules then you have to get oil there somehow.

To that end, the crossover tube works for that specific issue. It won’t save a main bearing.

I also get why he was back feeding the number one main.

I suggest there are better ways to get oil over there without the crossover, but the tube does that.

What it doesn’t do is fix the issue of oiling the bearings. It doesn’t slow down the oil.

That’s why I asked the OP why he’s was doing it. His answer had nothing to do with pushrod oiling. His answer was he was looking for more reliability concerning bearing oiling. The crossover doesn’t do that.
