How do my bearings look ?

Slotting the bearings is a good idea .
I drilled all the oil galleys and checked bearing orientation but I was still uncomfortable with the amount of oil getting to the rockers . So I ordered ball to ball oil thru pushrods and cup style adjusters . I still didnt see much oil at top end with VCs off running .
Which is one of the reasons I chose to pull engine and go thru it . I also wanted to redo ring gap to .018 from .016 as I wasnt sleeping well thinking about the smaller gap .

You should see all feeds through the hole in the bearing. The oil feeds the journal and as crank turns... more is drawn in..while the deflecting oil goes to the cam with the same scenario.

People who don't open them up are A.leaving a potential for oil starvation B. Making a harder job for the oil pump. Resistance makes for hotter oil once the push force greatly exceeds the relief
