Reducing oil to the camshaft?

So, maybe I'm all screwed up eh?

Control the oil that is used to lube the cam and reroute the oil from the rocker arms so it doesn't run down onto the crankshaft. Get whatever extra oil you think you need from EDM holes in the lifters or grooving the lifter bores and remember that the camshaft is also lubed by oil splash from the crankshaft. Some aftermarket blocks don't even have pressurized oil going to the the lifters on solid lifter cams.

Excess oil from the rocker arms falling on the cam and down to the crankshaft is lost horsepower as the crank has to pound it's way through that oil. Hello crank scrapers! There is plenty enough oil splash to lube the lifters from above and the cam lobes from below. The oil passage along the lifter bores in factory blocks is because they need oil for the hydraulic lifters. The more oil you pour over the cam, the more falls on the crank and the more horsepower you lose. I just prelubed with the intake manifold off and ended up restricting the oil from pressure lubed roller lifters because there was so much oil flowing from the lifters I couldn't even see the camshaft.

But hey, that's me. Ya'll do whatever you want.
