Quote: Try priming a BBM or Hemi with the intake off it and watch the GALLONS of oil that push by the lifter bores. We frequently run only standard oil pumps in bushed motors, no HV needed, and we also frequently need to REDUCE the oil pressure in those same motors after controlling the massive leaks from the lifter bores.
I have primed without valley pan and it was frightening how much oil comes out around the bottom of the lifter.
