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

Ya know, I might be wrong about the 3/16" part. From what Doug over at Precision mentioned on the phone was that he does not use the high pressure springs, he uses shims with the stock spring to bring the pressure up. I'm sure he has his reasons of doing it that way. I am certain he does a flow/pressure test.
OK, well if he does it, then it makes no sense to me for you to add any shims.

Edit: See my next post on this for my opinion on what the new pump will do.
