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

Then we are in agreement. The crossover has zero to do with bearing life. It is a means to getting oil to the drivers side when you restrict the oil to the lifters.

Which is exactly why I asked the OP why he was doing it. I don’t know if he’s using pushrod oiling or not but if he’s not he is wasting his time with that modification.

Hopefully he’s running a rear sump pan and he spends some time getting the pick up side of the pump in shape.

He will have way more success doing that then the crossover.
Read what I wrote. We are not in agreement.
It has everything to do with bearing life.
