Why did you quit bushing the lifter bores? We use pushrod oiling so that means another $400.00
for a block.
?????? I'm not sure I know what you mean

I vote bushed. Won't hurt even if you don't need them, but if you do they are there.
As more people build more hp they need indivigual shaft rockers.(pushrod oiling)
Help me understand by clarifying that. I thought for pushrod oiling you need oil to the lifter, so unbushed should work? And if you put solid bushings in (without an oil hole), then no oil would go to the lifter and you couldn't pushrod oil.
1) Unbushed
2) Solid bushing (no oil hole)
3) Bushings with a small oil hole.

I believe your right Jim. You would need to oil the lifters in order to get oil thru the push rod.

to much oil without bushing and small hole and lack of oil pressure.

What about restricting the oil gallies?

Ask around and see what the big builders think. If it doesn't raise the price I think they will vote for bushings
because they are better in a high lift race engine.
If you ADD anything, it will always cost more. The key is to keep to cost as low as possible to the end user. More than likely all the blocks that we cast in the future will have the bushings installed, however you may see a slight price increase because of it.
