We Had LOW OIL PRESSURE, This One Trick Could Fix Our Oil Starvation Problem…

[@kylenova70]

Instead of installing a restrictors in the could you use pushrods with restricted holes

I’ve done, LS DOD, taped plugs. Threading. With the block upside down. So the cuttings fall . Ran great for years. Tap with the block on stand, upside down. Lay under it. To tap.

[@robertsansone5172]

Tacking a 1/4” drive extension upside down works and gives you a square on the end to turn tap.

[@Windemtight]

Then use a 12 point socket on the square drive.

An engine builder in Australia by the name of Les Small, had an interesting way of restricting oil flow in the Australian Holden 304 ci V8. He put pipe cleaners down inside the pushrods. Oil surge with too much oil in the valve train was a real issue then. This trick worked well. Cheap fix.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Les only copied the old blokes! I learnt that from them as well.

The ford block always tricky restricting the lifters sometimes one side won’t oil and have to make an external crossover. I like using the restricted pushrods in a ford engine instead of restricting the lifers

[@danmyers9372]

That sounds like a much better idea than reducing oil flow to the lifters.

Thats what i did to my last stroker used restricteds in the engine. But i did watch a video where a guy drilled a samll hole in the frist cam tunnel in the groove n it came out just behide the 2 oil holes where the plugs go n he said he did all his engines that way n he is a engine builder n does all of his clients engines that way so the lifters can get more oil to them. I couldnt find the video when i watched yours, but if i find it i will post it here for you to watch buddy.

[@Shademax4273]

Good stuff man👍

[@JeffereryFlaherty-oe1ze]

On the recent video when the drive shaft on the dump made a lot of sparks there was a dip in power at high R.P..M.,I noticed a reflection from the overhead light on black ring at the connection of the intake tube and the manifold., that seemed to indicate, the clamp was loose. The reflection moved from right to left,at high R.P.M. Do consider my suggestion about inventing laser beam spark plugs. A KZbin channel called Led' Lab. is guy(Leslie Wright) who's laser savvy enough to build the laser,but you will have to engineer it to fit in the spark plug hole. A blue laser will go up to 3000 degrees, vs.1500 for a spark that's only .030 inch long .sparks are like a candle in the wind compared to a laser light that goes everywhere in the chamber at the speed of light (that is faster than the flame front).

[@CJM7080]

Just use a square socket and 1/4 extension no need to weld all that and make a tool.

You should have your CNC people 3D scan the new heads and then use that as a foundation to improve them and cut your own for Fords.

[@jimmanis6717]

Would cost 5x as much as buying high end heads. This isn't a hobby it's a business. And to run something for such a limited demand would be no bueno.

[@jhgsxr]

I use German torque spec all the time!!!!

[@watahyahknow]

can probably repair those old beat up heads and use them to build a budget medium power smallblock using a mostly stock bottom end with a few small upgrades maibe a non turbo one to recoup some of youre cash , if you tell the customer that it wi fail if he adds more power to it you can probably get away with it as for welding the tap straight ontoo the extention : drill a hole in the extention using a lathe where you can pressfit the tap intoo before welding , should be straight then and you probably can go ower heat on welding too , allso a machine tap (the spiral ones) pushes the chips to the back of the tap wish should help with trying to keep them out the oilgallery

Spray Bars have you ever ran them? I do in my off road stuff it seams to help.

[@STUART5.7]

Hello Kyle, Can you improve the oil valley return then add a high volume oil pump instead of restricted lifter galleries.

[@travisboatwright5466]

Hi Dewey. Did Supervisor Dewey approve?

[@Shademax4273]

Seen on other engines where a little regulator is plumbed inline to regulate the oil pressure down to the lifters. Also do whatever you can to improve oil draining back to the pan. Make sure the oil pickup isnt getting air in high g scenarios. Ya know the drill. An accusump can help solve your oili issue too. Plus you can use it to prime the engine on the first start of the day.

[@sandycraven]

They have tap extenders

[@michellee8369]

For extra insurance a vacuum can be used for chip control with the grease

[@paullutherborrow637]

Could have tapped it upside down and run a vacuum cleaner on the most direct path to where the galley leads to

[@roughwater3454]

Curious though. How do you know for sure too much oil is getting sucked out of the pan? And not a different issue? Good luck...

[@stevehutchinson8935]

We had a set of heads go soft, is that a worry also? They were old Brodix 12 run hard. Have you seen that before? Thanks

[@danielkearns3600]

Why not improve the capacity of oil pick tube and oil pump and use extra quart of oil with slight deeper pan sump.

[@Mltemple8333]

Issue is too much oil ending up not being able to drain back. Adding a couple quarts would end up with the crank swinging through a huge amount of oil and foaming it up. Pickup then grabs aerated oil and that causes issues instead imo. Either have to restrict flow to top end or increase flow back but that’s just gravity and larger passages which would probably not work. Oil restriction is a known way of fixing the issue.

[@TheRcbthree]

Pretty cool stuff

[@ChrisMcCutcheon-wj2pp]

At one time in the 70s thru the 80s you could buy pushrods that block oil flow to top, we would run them on intake, reg push rods on exhaust side?

[@gibsonandpickett]

Turn the engine upside down and tap it dry. The chips will fall out on the ground

[@cabocaptain5761]

Dart SHP block requires a stock oil pump. If you run a high volume or high pressure it will empty the pan.

[@hotrodmaker1638]

Tap wont break casting is soft

[@scottgarmon4865]

I would Tap it and flush the block upside down so the chips fall down.

[@brianholcomb6499]

Great job with the oil restrictiors! While waiting to dyno a circle track engine, I watched a guy burn up a brand new engine on the dyno, because it had no oil restrictors! Burnt up meaning bottom end 😳😳😳😳! Very good choice on the heads! Decks should be much stronger & it’s going to run better with the valves back up where they should be 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!

[@tomhamilton9140]

Enlarge the passage from the top down to main galley then weld extension to tap we drill .090 in restrictor

[@scottgarmon4865]

I still haven’t found the secret to welding on tool steel, It always makes it a little brittle afterwards. I tried quenching it in oil. But you still have to be careful with it.

[@jakelowang4132]

Putting it in oil temper it making harder so its more brittle. Best his to put in wool and let it cool slowly to let it soft.

[@jimmanis6717]

Preheat and post heat helps keep it out of the martensite range.

[@scottgarmon4865]

The problem is the tool is usually small so it will be difficult to control the heat that goes into it either way.

@@scottgarmon4865 true, especially if it's a once in a while thing. If it's something you do often you'd get a hang of it.

[@dazaspc]

Excuse my ignorance but that seems like a very tight restriction for all the lifters and valve gear? Is there a restriction fitted at the end of the gallery where it returns to the sump to allow it to pressurise? Cheers

[@Motorsportkyle]

Yessir everything past that plug is blocked off so oil only can return through the clearance between the lifters and the lifter bore in the lifter gallery circuit. Thats why the hole can be so small because with only .0015 of lifter clearance it cant flow more volume than that .093 feed hole.

[@dazaspc]
