Quote: Another way of doing the same thing I think.
The KB block has a separate oil gallery going to the main bearings first (priority). The restrictors keep high pressure/flow to the main bearings, while reducing pressure/flow to the lifter galleries (lifters, pushrod oiling to the heads). I don't think the lifter galleries are even drilled on most KB blocks, you have to buy that option (I did for pushrod oiling to the heads).
When my block arrives, I will check; but I believe the restrictors allow full pressure to the ports on the rear/top of the block and only reduce pressure to the lifter galleries.
I ordered mine for push rod oiling. So when you talked to Ken yesterday, did he give you an ETA? Or did he just say that it will be started this week? We will lose a day this week because of the 4th too.
