Those engines run a 3/16" oil line through the water jacket, not a 1/8", and the oil distributor on the driver's side of the block restricts the flow to the head until there's at least 15 PSI at the main bearings. The oil line is soldered to the adapter fittings on both sides of the block to prevent coolant leaks into the crankcase. Use COPPER line only- - - - -a 3/16" steel brake line would rust out quickly.
