Default solid roller and rear oil restrictors

Ok found out Morel does NOT recommend running any oil restrictors with there lifters. So guess ill be good, long as it doesnt suck the pan dry.

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.
