    I assume the previous owner or mechanic ran a 3/16 line from the T where the oil pressure gage connects and around the back of the block and to the 1/8 npt threaded hole on my 235 engine because there was a issue with topside lubrication ?? Is there any way to get it unblocked so I dont have to run this tube ?? or is it a good idea to run this line ?? If so I need to make a new line that looks alot neater than the one that was on there...........


    Thanks for the info

    Is the hollow head bolt in the right place? It goes just inside the valve cover midway on the passenger side and inline with a small pipe plug on the outside of the head near the top. If there is a solid bolt there it won't let oil reach the rockers. A common mistake.
