Sure a SBM has timing issues but based on the guys like p-body and others and the SBC guys with that crappy oiling set up turning serious RPM it just don't matter. Centrifugal force is going to keep the oil flowing out of the crank toward the rod bearing even when the pressure is blocked for a split second.
Wasn't referring to the ENTIRE SBC oiling system, only how the crank is drilled. The crank is drilled to provide crank pin oiling at 60 before "max load" on crank pin.


Exactly, and maybe I wasn't clear enough. Monte says it's 60* degrees where the oil is timed at. The point is at the exact time, the oil hole in the crank had damn well better be lined up with the feed hole in the block so Full oil pressure is going to the rods. On a SBC these two holes are lined up at the right time. On the Chrysler they are not. It's a big deal as the RPM's go up. That is all I am saying.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
