    Nah I got a tig theres no reason I can't. I can weld alum ok most of the time. I'm just not looking forward to the prep that it is gonna take. It's gonna be a pain to get the inside of the oil gallys clean. Its really no big deal and I should just get off my ass and do it. Thanks though!

              Pressure is not indicative of volume. But yeah that is a really silly way to supply oil. And it would seem that the outer rockers would be supplied much later than the inner ones. And yeah at operating temp there is not much pressure up there. Thanks for the pictures!!

                  Here is a set that I did. I had a T fitting on the intake side. But all of the feed holes had to be filled and re tapped. Due to the angle of the supply line coming up it is not at a 90 deg from the bottom of the box. So because of that the t fitting would hit the box. Also welding up the little passage where the set screw plug goes in.

                  I also went the other direction with them I really don't care for the curved sides and enjoy this much better. But it was a lot of work. They still need to be line bored for true for the rocker shafts and decked to make sure they are straight without alot of warpage

                  They will go on my bike micros machine when I get time to button them up

                      wow

                      first pic not sporty but these make my dick so hard it hurts.The second ones in black are just another way to do oil lines.and third again not sporty but shows you what some build up welding and grinding can do.

                          is there enough oil pressure to run thru the "walle" eye holes? could you simply tap the holes in the middle and run a 2" line straight from one to the other? kinda like...
