the stock oil drillings. The oil still has to travel to the center of the main journal before it can flow to the rod and plugging one side of the cross-drill will never change that fact.

Hey Brett, is that graph for the crower crank or the oem? (n/m)

The graph is for the stock crank... actually it applies

06:35:54 09/03/14
Maybe I misstated... the calcs are the pressure required
-
LitlElvis
09:01:57 09/03/14
a column of oil requires no more pressure than a drop of oil
-
aliaZ
09:07:57 09/03/14
What about the larger column of oil in the throw to the rod?
-
