Quote: I think you need to determine if the loss of oil pressure is do to lack of quanity or a oiling system problem caused by the pump or pickup before changing parts. Did you leave the .040 oil restirctor in the passage to the rockers or does the EZ heads use external oiling? If external forget the question about the restrictors and maybe consider using them in the external lines to the heads if you don't have them yet
Hi Cab,
The 295 EZ's use an external oil line system and they allready have a .060 restrictor in them. Dwayne feels it's an issue with the long stroke creating windage. He ran into similar issues with another 572 build and the dual line external setup fixed it.
We tried to go internal oiling thinking that perhaps the low rpm would keep oil pressure in check but it didn't work. It was worth a try and we learned something from this dyno thrash...Big stroke builds create lots of pressure issues that are easily resolved with a good pan and oil pickup. I'm going to order the Charlies pan and Milodon setup & be done with it.
