I have seen the priority oiling post & have allready made block modifcations with oil channels in the mains adding holes in the bearings & gridle complete . I am looking for some help for direct oil line a possible (Manifold) in the lifter valley to direct feed the mains bearings frist & restricting the lifters on the RH side of the block & feeding the lh side with out to much starvation to the lifters . Does any one have some good pics & what they used for plumbing ? I have seen braided line,but would like to see tubeing used for inside the engine ? I have The SRE / Ext Peterson pump set up 16 line out of the pan .
thanks I have seen those pics & have that in mind. I just needed some detail on the restrictors, size hole in the tubes for the lifters & detailed routing . I have some idea just figured i would get some more in-put thanks Nick
Yea ! Seems to be that JUUUSST enough info was shared on that thread !!! I have it figured out . I will post the pics when I am done with plumbing! I will be DIRECTING the oil into the Mains 1st . It will be similar to the braided line system in that post . Thanks

Tthanks Dave, that was some of the info i was looking for. I was courious about restricting the oil to the lifters on the pass side, I got it now ! I have done all of these mods to the block so far , saddles, over top-oiling , grooved mains,External peterson pump etc .A must if you are twisting over 6000 rpm . All of these modifications way to much sence in my eyes!!! :TU:Wouldnt think of twisting over 6000 rpm with out doing so! Some have just been lucky to this point with out doing so !! Thanks again Nick
