My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block

RustyRatRod said

Not being negative here, but I've always wondered about that intake valley crossover. Whether it was really needed. Reason I wonder is because I've seen some REALLY fast small blocks without it. Lord knows I ain't smart enough to know all the answers, but I've always wondered if all of those fancy modes were really necessary.

The one guy in the other thread said the cam bearing clearance basically closes the oil feed holes up to the galley which effectively restricts them.
My biggest concern now is the pickup/flow to the pump.

60psi of pressure I would think covers a multitude of sin.
Kinda like 30psi of boost.

If I get the pipe taps and do the crossover once, then these mods will become commonplace in all my builds.
