solid roller and rear oil restrictors
I have a 385 lt4 with a solid roller setup that's gonna be a street car. I have good lifters and was wondering if you have too change out the rear oil restrictors in the block or if they are fine as is?

Everyone has their on opinions. I've never liked the idea of restricting the oil to the topend. Yea the solid lifters may not need as much oil being they don't have a hyd mechanism to keep pumped up but with the increased spring pressures on solid valve trains I'd say you need that oil up top to keep the springs cooler along with the rockers trunion bearings. Just my thoughts though.
