Oil restricter
69F100 September 22nd 2018, 10:10 am
What is needed to restrict some oil from the lifters after I changed rocker arms I got to much oil to top half. I am not loosing oil pressure now after a run with the new pan but my vacuum pump sucking oil out of the valve cover. I have a baffles in the valve covers. I don't have any blow bye with vacuum pump off so I don't think it is the rings the engine only has maybe 20 passes on it.

What you should use depends upon whatever block you have.

Running a D9 block I haven't seen a drop in oil pressure after putting the new oil pan on. Before it was at the end of the run when i would get on the brakes. Never had that problem until I changed my rocker arms and went to the Crane Gold rocker.

Like Dave said ... restricted pushrods is your only alternative with a production oiling system; (unless bushing the passenger side lifter bores).

I kn ow of 4 or 5 guys in the last 2 years same prob with the crane golds, no so much a prob if you install restrictors, or like was said pushrods.
the crane rocker at lift line up the oil holes better them some other rockers,thus letting more oil by

I am running right now .080 wall going to stop by Summit tomorrow on the way home and pickup some .135 wall pushrods . I was thinking the .135 would have a smaller oil hole that would restrict the oil. I called Summit and ask them about oil restrictor pushrods in a 3/8'' 8.55 and 8.65 said he did not have a listing for oil restrictor pushrod that size only ones he showed was in 5/16''. Am I right .135 would have a smaller hole by the math it should be .055 smaller hole than the .080 if so I get them and try.

They are no restriction at all ... you will need pushrods which are designated "Restricted" which have only about a .020" hole in the lifter end.
Call a pushrod manufacturer, not Summit.
