Oil restricting to lifters ?

Oil restricting to lifters ? - 01/26/09 07:53 PM

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 ?

you Index ing the lifters like you mentioned sounds like It will work fine without having
to do anything else!

this is what I do! the oil holes use to be indexed
with the bushings and worked great,until I installed the 55mm. cam!a .020 hole in a bushing with a gruve in the lifter work perfect!

No bushings in the bores? 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
