Oil Pressure Issue?

What if you have dual oiling of the top end; that is through the regular passages to the rocker shafts, and up the pushrods. That would put "stupid oil up top".

I had the opposite problem with my LA 360 and Melling HV pump. I had stupid hi-pressure that would blow the filter pad off the block and dump oil onto the header.That's not good.So I made some mods,switched to 10W30, and Good to go.

I actually didn't think about that. I dont think so, I believe that my pushrods are solid. They are custom smithbrothers pushrods. I know the rocker arms have a hole in the pushrod cup that would send oil to the rockers. I'll have to look into that.

When I was priming the motor before installing it, the pushrods would be so flooded with oil they would have about a 1/4 of oil thickness going down along them. The springs were flooded with oil too. The oil would make the spring look solid if that makes sense. I mean everything is definitely getting oil up top! lol
