225 oil pan modifications

I like the idea of full groove bearings.....or grinding grooves on the main journals......or cross drilling. So far though, I've had good luck with the standard volume replacement oil pump (7/8 rotor) with the high pressure MP spring. I think running a lot of oil pressure helps. It idles hot right around 68-70. Not much over 70 even at RPM because that's the relief pressure, right around 70-75.

At a PRI oil lubrication / bearing seminar I brought up the subject of full grooved main bearings and I thought I was going to get thrown out of the room. Seriously. Folks in attendance turned around a looked at me, the moderator dismissed my question by saying, let’s you and me talk privately and then went to the next question.
True Story.
