Any one interested in the oiling mods I did?

Well...it was around .046" though I don't remember sitting here. It was less than .049 and more than .040, for sure.

A ENGINE OIL MODIFICATION
In an A engine with a solid or roller lifter cam, we highly recommend installing the Chrysler P4120603 lifter oil block off tube kit. Regardless of whether you use a hydraulic, solid, or roller cam, we recommend the following modifications.
Purchase an 8” to 10” long 9/32 drill bit. Remove the main cape. Ion the mains number 1-2-3-4 there is an oil passage which goes from the top on the main saddles to the lifter galley on the passenger side on the block. Slowly drill these 4 passages to 9/32”. Cast iron is very hard to drill without the bit trying to hangup, so do not try to rush this job. If you happen to break the bit, you will have real problems.
Take your oil pump and rill the neck of the pump (the section between the rotor and the main cap) ½” Take a sand paper roll (the kinds used in porting heads) and go in the pump above the rotors and debur and slick the area above the rotors. You will need to slick the hole in the pump neck that you have drilled also. Drill to ½” the rear main cap where the oil goes through and polish with sandpaper roll.
You will need a 10” long ½” drill bit for the next step. With the rear main cap removed, look in the hole where the oil goes into the block. There is a 9/16” freeze plug which diverts the oil through the oil filter. Remove this plug by inserting a ¼” rod through he hold where the oil pressure gauge goes in the top side of the block. Drill the hole ½” up to the lifter galley where the plug was removed. Remove the oil filter and any adapter plates from the block. Remove the pipe plug from the block that is under the filter. Drill to ½” both holes that go from the filter to the passage that leads the lifter galley. Now remove the pipe plug in the rear of the block behind the oil filter and drill this passage to the center of the oil filter bolt ½”.
DO NOT DRILL PASSAGES FROM THE MAINS TO THE CAMSHAFT. DO NOT RESTRICT THE OIL TO THE ROCKER ARMS.
Once all passages are drilled, completely clean the block very well. We use Milodon #34010 brush kit to clean all the oil passages. Once the block is clean, replace the 9/16” plug that diverts the oil to the filter and the plug under the oil filter. If you make the above modification, you have greatly increased the volume of oil that fees the crankshaft and the bearings of your A engine.
We highly recommend the Milodon 10 quart oil pan with the swivel pickup. This system comes with a pump cover and a 1 ¼” rotor. Using the long rotor greatly increases the oil volume. The swivel pickup makes sure there is always oil at the pickup. Also use fully grooved (wide groove) main bearings. We do not recommend stock type oil pans that have been cut and deepened as these pans can run out of oil under acceleration or deceleration. They are not baffled properly. While the cost of a good oil system is expensive, it is not nearly the price of a new engine.

How do I attach pdf files?

I just read a bunch of posts on this, I realize what a heated subject it is. Not meant to discredit anyone, just sharing.

No. This info is great. More the merrier. There lot of different applications, so that changes stuff too.

try uploading using the Upload Photos button and just the pdf file. I can convert the pdf to jpg. But you’d have to email them to me.

I’ve done most of these mods except the crossover for years but it sure is nice to have this to refresh yourself especially as we get older. It’s so easy to forget a step, a plug, a simple mod. Thanks for posting this.

If anyone is interested in doing Sanborns cooling mods, I had these custom Cometic head gaskets made, complete with part number
That incorporate the changes to the gasket cooling holes that he recommended. The are at least a couple members who are using these apparently without issue.

Hi,
So where would one get those gaskets?
I did a surch for that part # and did not find anything even on

Call Cometic up direct and speak with them.
 
This is all good stuff, and have been reading for hours. Istarted the mods on my 340 and where it says to drill and tap lifter from #1 main for a 5/16 plug, problem is mine is bigger than that to start with, any thoughts. I spin to 7000 but might go to 7500 and dont want oiling problems.
 
Just keep fallowing the Instructions.........You might find that someone has done you a favor.... or maybe only did the easy parts of it.
If your going to turn 7500 rpm, the oil pump mods and custom pick up tube is as important as the rest of the mods
 
I know that this thread has been around for a little while, but I wanted to thank Guitar Jones for posting it as I'm finding it both interesting and educational. Thanks again Guitar Jones.
