Has anyone used one of these aftermarket oil feeds to the valve train?
In looking at the original engine oil flow diagrams, it appears that this installation will 'rob' oil from the main gallery just before it would normally go to the rear cam bearing. This almost seems a bit self-defeating in that we get more oil to the rockers, but we take the chance of damaging the cam bearing. That is of course unless the pressure and volume of oil in the main gallery are high enough to overcome the loss of some oil to the rocker shaft.
Did I answer my own question?? Any thoughts??
