LA Oiling Question
:bs_flag:
Behind the bolt hole that takes the hole is the lowest point in the lifter valley... It will fill first before the rest of the lifter valley...
Liquid flows down hill easier than it flows up hill.... If you don't believe me, try kicking water up hill....
bullshit.lol
what are you ..breaking the entire time you drive? No. You're accelerating, g force..it all mostly goes to back like your dogs water bowl when kick it on accident.. Fact is ...while chains need some oil to survive, how much depends on how much fiction, heat, rpm it's moving and creating. It gets oil every single time you feel like, you yourself, are moving forward from decelerating or braking.
Why do you think there is a Slinger down there...just as much to block direct oil splash from the front seal as it is allegedly "slinging".Leave one off n your seal will leak. slant 6 it will be almost immediate...point is , that's how much oil gets up there.
I would never drill the lifter galley plug and have it piss on the chain, total waste imo.
Way to send more oil to wrong places.
Run one or dont, just use a drip plate so that all that oil sloshed on the crank gear/chain can get some reapplication to the chain again on it's way down.
Ps. Dont forget to check the main bearing oil feed hole alignment to the main saddle galley/feed.
Have fun disagreeing.
