The Comp AMC lifters oil through the stock Mopar oiling system through the sides from the stock lifter bores, does your block have provisions to oil the lifter bores? Mine does with a .060 size hole to the lifer bores I'm planning on using that system to oil my rocker arms with pushrod oiling

My KB block doesn't oil through the lifters When I bought my KB aluminum block, I paid for the option to have the lifter galleries oil pressurized. In 2014, they had the oil pressure flow around the rear cam bearing (between a groove in the block and the bearing shell), then it went up to the lifter galleries. My understanding of the newer blocks (see new picture here) is the yellow lines.

When I ordered my keith black block I messed up and didn’t have it drilled for pushrod oiling. Tom Hemphill 30 miles from me in pa drilled it for me and fixed me up.

I'm looking for ideas on the way it's plumbed to the lifters .How /what type of distribution block the lines got to . I could email you some pictures of how I did my Indy Maxx block if you're interested.

Challenger451, Did you do that distribution block work yourself ? I am in the same boat, I have an older KB block with no lifter gallies, only way to do it is what you did. Yessir. I think I had about 40hrs into the whole project. Indy's price was around $800.00 to drill the block for pushrod oiling and I was trying to keep costs down where I could so I decided to do it this way. If I were to start over today, I'd gladly pay them the $800 to have it done. I used a 0.040 nitrous jet in each of the feeds. My theory there was if I tossed a lifter, I wouldn't lose oil pressure. I just broke a rocker this fall and only lost a few psi of oil pressure so I guess it worked. I'm having the lifter bores bushed over the winter because the one that got tossed ended up gouging the bore.

Here is how I did my Indy Block same concept sent it to the machine shop to have them drill the holes then I plumb it after that works great. Note the the section I welded on the inlet side it acts as an accumulator so the oil flows evenly to all the lifter and push rods.
best so far 8.53 @ 158.59 MPH 60'1.240

Stupid question...what situation/combo requires pushrod oiling? Or is just a preference? The stuff I've messed w/ has all been conventional oiling.

One question why didn’t you guys just use number three stainless flex lines. Sure would save a lot of work.
