My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block

Thanks, I love how it sounds too!
I was talking with Bob Mazzolini, he thinks because the lifter bores are not bushed, oil is leaking past those.
I may just run the engine as is, some say the pressure is okay, others question it.

I will find out when I put that HV oil pump along with a shimmed spring once I get it later this week. I dunno.
Couldn't you pull the intake and manually prim the oil pump and see if the oil is leaking around the lifters?
