Quote: The 87019s have an oil band and, I beleive, have a bit shorter body than the 829s. Once together and running, I wasn't likng the oil pressure when warm(about 10psi at idle in gear after a pass). When I put it all together, the top of the band was pretty close to the top of the lifter bore at full lift in an un-bushed stock block. I figured it was losing oil volume past lifters. I ended up dropping a steel dowel down the passenger side sending unit hole at back of block to limit oil to drivers side lifters. This brought oil pressure back to a comfortable range. FWIW Here's a link to another members thread with similar issues and posted some pics of what I did.
The COMP The 87019s look similar to the lifters I bought from IMM, so now I'm wondering if your trick of restricting the driver-side lifter galley feed might be required using them w/ an unbushed block, too.
