Oil restrictors

[95rayburn]

Any one have a problem with the mains not getting enough oil and destroying the bearings when using oil restrictors

If you are talking about the screw in restrictors for the lifter galley in a SBC, no, I have never had any problems with them. They are used to restrict oil to the lifters, pushrods and rockers and to keep more oil on the mains and rods.

I have ran them on roller motors to cut the flow to the valvetrain. I only wish I hadn't used them on my non-roller, flat tappet solid cam, "stock rocker", engine. It cost me a set of pretty expensive lifters and rockers. All from lack of oil.

they come with different hole sizes, you probably got some for a roller cam not flat tappet.

I am running a roller cam. Never had a problem before but didn't use oil restrictors. Thinking I'm just going to put the factory plugs back in it and try that. Also it's a mowtown block

restrictors restrict oil to the top end not the bottom

they did not and can not cause you to have a issue with your crank or rod brgs

I misread your original post.
