The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Auxiliary oil line to head

Steve-

Thanks for the tip. I read a few more unrelated threads after posting this and got the same idea you just posted, that the auxiliary oil line is for when the regular oil passages are clogged. I guess they would get clogged easier and quicker without oil filtration or with only a bypass filter.

Like you I'm going to put it on my fresh rebuild just to be safe 'cause I can't see it hurtin' anything if the valve seals are good, as you say.

Thanks again!
