Too much oil to the top end? - 08/15/09 04:14 PM
I putting a hyd roller cam in my 505 motor with the Comp 8921 lifters. These lifters have the capability of oiling the pushrod so I went ahead and ordered pushrods with oiling ends. I have a conventional rocker arm system on there which oils internally so now I'll be sending oil up both places.
Anyone try this before? It might be too much oil to the top end but then again, because the hyd roller lifters don't have any lash there really shouldn't be much oil going up the pushrods. Guess we'll see how it works. I've been increasing the oil to the top end on my dyno motors the last several years in an attempt to limit pushrod heat but I haven't tried this combination yet.
