well yep.. you are wrong ..but any ways i made the point that a restrictor shut down upper valve train oil .it was something Jerry said but wanted for him to under stand that this block is not the same as some that why i asked for sure it was a shp and not a world block or a wheeler block.GM bowtie. oil restrictors may help with oil psi and less upper oil .but has nothing much to do with drain back from the head if them hole s need to be open so oil runs threw the valley and then pan . a restriction that can be at heads then oil is all in heads and can be in lifter valley as well. i do not think thats it .the valley on the SHP block it is cut out much like a bbc so there places were oil would fined it way back in the pan less heads were pluged then it would fill up till to pushrod hole then drain back . the SHP dart block and M do not oil like a stock chevy they have a lifter oiling cross over leave that with a plug out. you would have a big loss of oil to top end . main s still would feed the bottom end. but would never build oil PSI thats in front of block in valley . intake has to come off to check . it is just like the BIG M dart bbc . then there is still plugs 3 under the upper timing gear as well .the front of the engine has to come off as well less you have a two part timming cover and can see the 3 galley plugs. he never said he was pulling intake or timming cover ? yes i seen he did put on a new pickup never said if he welded it .? someone asked if he check it was it 3/8 or 1/2 ? i did see were he used another oil gauge so i did ask. but more to the point i was looking for him to tell me it was a mechanical gauge and not a sender gauge never said what he used so my fault so what have you added to this ?
