I have a KB wedge block that was not drilled for lifter oiling ( my old heads were B1's and they oiled through the block ) My new heads take pushrod oiling so I had to modify the block to oil the lifters . (no one in my area wanted to guarantee or try to do a interrupted drill through the lifter bores so I did it this way ) I have crane ultra pro lifters and I indexed the oil hole on the base circle . The oil hole will see .100" of additional movement before the hole is closed off . How much should I restrict the distribution block ? or maybe I should not ? 4974911-4949088-2009cuda033.jpg (77 downloads) 6.50 @ 226 MPH 4.25 @ 186 MPH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX86DHGKBo0

If you dont think you will dump to much oil in the bores themself you could just restrict the oil in the pushrods. Or drill and tap all 16 of your brass fittings to install a restrictor right at the bores
