440-1 head push rod oiling vs through head oiling

i have the big easy head with t&d rockers im set up to do push rod oiling but my question is, is just push rod oiling enough by its self or should i run a restricted line off the block to my head to oil the shafts. originaly i was going to just do the line off the block to the head but was worryed about the push rod ends so i went with push rod oiling to cover that. but now im wondering how good the push rod oiling feeds the shaft.

Thanks

My -1 are push rod oiled with T&D individual shaft rockers. Comp 892 tappets with bushed lifter bore,.060" orifice. More than enough oil. I may restrict it in the future.

if you are using the solid shaft t&d set-up, i would use the rear of the block fittings for oiling. it is much simpler and more than enough. i even restrict the oil to the heads with this set-up. the t&d,s are unique in that with this type set-up, the pushrod and rocker cup are pressurized with oil.
