RE: oil mods 428

It's me again doc. I've got more bad advise.

By the way, my previous post to you was intended as a response for questions you asked in the other nearby Milodon thread, but it wouldn't post there for some reason, so I stuck it here to keep from losing it. It's still pretty much the same thread, and I figure you recognize that.

As for restricting the heads and restricting the lifter galleys, these are different animals, and one does not really relate to the other.

Solid or hydraulic, with that oil pump you do wanna restrict oil heading up to the pedestals because heads tend to drain oil back downstairs rather slowly. You also wanna be running a reinforced oil pump drive shaft. With a high-flow pump, lots of oil can puddle upstairs when you don't want it to. Lifter clatter in hard corners is one symptom the oil is not where you need it, billowing smoke out the exhaust for a few seconds after a hard romp is another that suggests your rearmost valve stems are being submerged in oil. You can easily restrict the heads next time the valve covers are off, so it's no big deal.

As for that non-RPM intake: What were you thinking?!? Hey, fun is the main thing. At least you know you can improve things (even on a heavy pickup truck) with a quick manifold swap (the carb is a good one for ya, though a step up in CFM AFTER you get a breathing intake wouldn't hurt a thing).

JMO,
Shoe.
