oil pressure
I've found that it doesn't matter where you read the oil pressure. The reading will be the same at either end of the engine. I once hooked up three oil pressure gauges to a big block just to check it for myself. One was at the outlet of the pump, one was at the inlet to the block and the third was at the back of the block. All three read the same so I got rid of two of the gauges.
Andy; wouldn`t the oil pressure relief valve opening sooner drop the oil pressure straight across the rpm range , because it would open
quicker ? I might have mis-stated the restricted oil t o the top end. I have full time oiling to the top, and had to restrict it the best I could w/o pulling the heads.
I made the mistake of drilling the lifter galley deal like a guy on here said he did all his engines, it put way too much oil up there, ( big mistake guys, don't do that ) , so I restricted the drilled holes the best I could /under the intake. Then tied the tubes going up , together w/ 1/16'' line, and machined a couple of restrictors to go around the bolts that feed the rockers, therefor closing the opening around the bolts down.
I suspect I still may have a little too much to the top, AND , can drill and install jet type restrictors in the deck surface, if I ever have to pull the heads, which I really don't want to do if I don't have to.
THANKS , for all comments -------------------------
