Low oil pressure?

Duane said

I know we have had that discussion before.
As I have posted before I am copying that mod from a very successful
Small block racer Charles Sanborn rest in peace. He looped a line around to the front.i have a good friend with an 8 second Daytona big block who has his main galley looped as well but from front to back.
Some things people are just gonna disagree on.
Sanborn brought the main oil line out of the block to a multi port filter block that divided it and sent it back to the rear inlet and the front inlet. If I recall you are referring to the timing issue.
I believe that issue has merit but I also believe that some blocks with a counter bore in the main saddles would adjust that. My 69 340 block never had those counter bores. My x block does.I suppose there will always be differing views on certain things.

Sanborn was wrong then, and is wrong now. I to,d him way back when I was on mofartcrap.

If you can't understand the simple physics that have been worked out for decades, I can't help you. You can move the oil supply anywhere you want and it won't make a pinch of **** difference.

It isn't a supply issue. It isn't an oil velocity issue. It's an oil timing issue. You can argue the point all you want, and you will still be wrong.

I've been there. I've done that. I've made over 2 hp/CID at 8500 and the stock system is plenty. If you correct the oil timing. All that other **** is a waste of time and money.

Sanborn was wrong. I sent him several emails with pictures. And he always said my way works. But he never turned the RPM I did.

Fix your oil timing. Don't **** with that other stuff. It's stupid. If you would have looked at a SBC block and crank like I said, you'd see how far off the timing is.
