Oil Mods 440

If you're staying below 6000 or 6500 rpm then just make sure the oil feed holes to the main are open and not full of slag. Use 3/4 groove main bearings if they are available. You can experiment with oil pumps and springs to get an oil pressure that you're happy with. It is a balance of pump volume, oil viscosity, oil temp and bearing clearance.

Pretty much where I was going. Basic machining has to be good, clearances need to be decent (high end of stock or a little bigger), the feed holes clear, I like the 3/4 groove myself but the bearing dujour is full grooves, and it "should" be fine.
