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

One thing I will say, is I personally never believed in the theory that the oil travels to fast to make the turn into the galley, not when there is restrictions in the system. Now a wide open passage, then maybe. And most of the blown up sbm I have seen, showed signs of oil starvation to the front to rods first. Just what I've observed, your results may vary
.
Well there is a good example of where the crossover would have helped.
