This engine will spend the vast majority of it's life under 2000 rpm, hours at a time idling at various angles. Cody wanted to keep the lifters and the cam well lubed and came up with this solution. We discussed other options of lifters and lifter bore work and even if was it really even needed.
In the end this is what he personally wanted to do.
I couldn't (he's a strong willed man) and wasn't going deny him the opportunity to try his idea. Working together we came up with and built this system. He has experimented with different oils and pressures in test bench trials and when we pre-lube the engine without the intake manifold we'll have further information on how well it may work.
The tubing is 3/8 steel you can buy at any NAPA store.
