So who here has been through tech with oil lines in the lifter valley?
NHRA used to take a dim view of those practices in Stock and Super Stock, has it changed? Or does it depend on the Tech Inspector?

A while back, I used some tubing on a Small Block Chev to make it live with minimal oil pressure, and improve drain back. That resulted in an ugly Indy tear down.

Back to the question. If it was my engine, I would start by bushing the lifter bores, not much fun on 59 degree blocks. Then track down all of the remaining leaks, like the cam plate.
