There's a lot of great minds in here, I'd like your opinion.I've used Moroso's oil restrictor kits in four hydraulic cammed 351Cs with no problem now. The Moroso catalog says not to use this kit with hydraulic cams. I emailed their tech department asking about this, and their one response was 'cus it will make your lifters pump up.' I asked for a more detailed explanation, but it looks like you only get one question with them.  I'm running Rhoades anti-pumpup lifters. What do you guys think, am I asking for trouble? ------------------

No problem, right?It just bugs me that they warn not to. I want to understand why. ------------------

Partner, I have used them FOREVER and NEVER had a problem with lifter oiling. The purpose was to keep oil on the bottom and it does the job. Bearings live with the restrictors. ------------------

Cool. I'll put it out of my mind, then. Moroso's warning always made me feel like I was doing something wrong. {..by the way, Alex, as soon as it warms up a little I'll get out there and measure my pushrods and order them from you. Cold sucks!} ------------------

Moroso's restrictor is .090 for the lifter gallery. Price motorsports sells a kit with a .110 restrictor.
If you are paranoid (like me) drill it out to .125.
I am running standard eaton lifters and have no problem with the .125 restrictor.
When I run the engine each side seems to oil the same.

While I'm doing this headwork and valvetrain swap, I'm planning to install some oil restrictors. I'm running a solid cam. Which restrictors should I get? Also, what's involved in the installation of them? Thanks!

Just tapping a few holes.
I like the price motorsports version, although the Moroso kit is easier to get.
The main difference is the diameter of the lifter gallery restrictor. Moroso has a .090 and Price has a .110.
Also do not put a restrictor in the #1 cam bearing passage. The extra oil helps the cam gear.

There was a hotrod or phr article one time about drilling a gallery plug to oil the timing chain area.

You can always drill the Moroso's out to .110 also. ------------------

I like the Moroso kit. I like to keep as much oil in the pan as possible. But, I only run solid camshafts so its not a concern to get as much oil up top.

I mentioned the drilling out to .125 because my 372 is in a street car w/hyd. cam.
With solids and roller lifters .090 is probably plenty large enough.

We have never had any problems using the Moroso kits regardless of lifters. I have used them since they were introduced. ------------------
