Block tubing, got some questions.

I would never even consider using a one piece (20-22 inch) and pounding it in. Two 10 inch pieces work well. May sure you truly understand the oiling system and double check to make sure you redrill all oiling holes and make sure the lifter clearance is set properly. Use oil on the preening tool and I ended up welding an extension on my peening tool to get me above the deck surface so I could put vice grips on my tool so I could slowly drive it in some and screw and pull it out. Then drive it in again.

Two 10" pieces it is.

As far as redrilling/installing. My plan was to install the rear tube so that it doesn't cover the feed from the filter, and the front tube so it doesn't cover #1 main fees, then redrill 2/3/4 up to 9/32.

I had to make the peening tool, no longer available. Well see how it holds up. Might need a bigger radius on the end, but I hate grinding HSS and we dont have a large enough tool in carbide.
