With increased oil flow from a bigger pump, supplying oil to the head via a small diameter tube with a needle valve to meter the flow shouldn't be much of a challenge- - - -getting the excess to drain back to the oil pan might take some creative tinkering, as well as dealing with possible overflow leaks. One pipe dream at a time! Didn't the original top end lube system include a quilted lube pad made from wool felt riding on the rocker arms- - - -saturated with squirt can oil? How was drainage addressed in case of over-oiling of the pad? LOL! Jerry
