The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Y-block top end oiling

I saw that one of the y-block builders eliminates the overflow tubes to get more oil to the rockers. I decided to do as Ford did. just wondering how much oil out the overflow tubes to expect. Am getting nice oil supply to all rockers. I change oil/filter every 2500 miles as I don't have any history on this engine. It appears that it has been rebuild at one point. Was pretty clean from what I saw inside and could hardly feel any ring ridge at top of the cylinders. Think I'll stick with a done deal!
