RE: 390 Oiling

All the oiling mods you mentioned are very helpful. Another area that needs attention is the oil passage where the oil pump bolts on. You can lay the gasket on a see how small the hole is in relation to the hole in the oil pump. This hole needs to be drilled out with a 1/2" bit and radiused with a grinder. As for the restriction in the heads, I tap the hole and use a 1/8"npt pipe plug and drill it out with a 1/16" drill bit. I'm always afraid that I'd accidently drop a jet into the engine during the build. Sodium filled valves were used in HR and MR engines. I've got a piston with a sodium filled exhuast valve head sticking out of it on my shelf that came out of a MR in 1972.
