Default Re: oil flow in an 8BA

That is the standard flathead diagram in that older thread linked on the previous post 3. Oil feeds the rear main first then feeds valve chamber passage with a Y for filter. All of the cam & front two main bearings are fed from the valve chamber tube. The oil filter has a restrictor to provide control of overall system pressure then after the filter, it just drains back to the oil pan as in the wonderful pictures on that thread.
