hard or soft copper line for a valley oil gallery bypass line?

Ok, it was explained to me in 1986 how that works. The guy is dead now and has been dead since 1995 so I can’t just ring him up and explain it to me in detail again.

The upshot was that two columns of fluid (most likely at different pressures) in the same pipe or tube is the side with higher pressure is fighting to overcome the lower pressure side. And it goes back and forth as the pressure changes.

Again, what do you gain adding another feed? You don’t. It’s not a feed or speed issue. That’s why big blocks smoke 5 and 6 get ate. You are feeding two shafts and 16 rockers and all those leaks off one main bearing.

The fix is to not feed the rockers off of one main or even two, especially when the cam has grooved mains.

If the OP is concerned with bearing life there are better things to do like stopping as many useless leaks as he can, forcing the oil to the mains and and working on the suction side of the pump.

The crossover does none of that.
The recommended mod in the stroker small block book completely abandons feeding the rockets from any bearing. I used brake lines
Drilled directly into the main galley to feed the rockers. Kind of like how Indy heads oil.
I installed the cam bearings out of position to completely block flow to the rockers. Then drilled new feed holes in the bottom of the cam bearings to oil those. Lifters are bushed.
The feed passage hole to both rocker shaft is .080 total to feed both sides.The majority of the oil in the galley only feeds mains and cam bearings. Every one the same. A small .030 hole in each lifter bore to feed the comp cams bushed axle shafts. I posted pics a couple years ago. I’ll see if I can find them.
