I know some builds that have run restricted push rods on HYD Roller set ups. LSX motors pump a lot of oil up on the top end. I don't think you want to restrict the oil flow in the gallies but through the push rod to the head and valve train. Go to the Hard Core Tech site and ask for ERIK or try the Texas section for him. He will know. I' m wanting to find out for my build also.
