thanks a buddy had a big small block built a couple years back with both oiling systems and its was flooding the top end with low oil pressure showing at the gauge eliminated the push rod oiling and solved the problem thanks my engine is only getting a 650-680 solid roller so if shaft oiling is all I need that's what im going with

Just make sure you use a HV pump, keep your idle speed up at 1k or a slosh over and whatever you do, make sure the oil feed holes in the shaft line up with the oil feed hole in the rocker when the valve is on the seat. If that means bluing the shafts, doing a mock assembly with the adjusters out and marking the shafts with a scribe and then drilling new holes, do it.

That's the only way to KNOW it will oil. You do that and you can run 1000 pounds over the nose and 9000 RPM at least.
