Default Re: Y-block top end oiling

In stock form you get a steady stream of oil coming out of the overflow tubes.


If you would prefer getting more oil to the rockers, crimp the end of the tubes a little to reduce the amount. The other method is to plug the holes in the tube and them drill a small hole so you get some oil to the distributor and timing chain.


Some plug the tubes w/o drillling a hole. To me, this is extreme for a street engine.


For my Y's, I have one with the tubes lugged but drilled a small hole it it while the other is just factory.
