Title: Anybody do the vertical groove in the lifters to connect the oil slots? Post by: Brandon Sinclair on November 25, 2009, 20:39:01 pm I remember reading about this mod in the Berg blue book, but have never done it and was wondering if it is worth it?

Title: Re: Anybody do the vertical groove in the lifters to connect the oil slots? Post by: Jim Ratto on November 25, 2009, 23:23:40 pm I (once) used a simple rotary cutoff tool in a die grinder, then polished OD with 400 wet/dry/oil
Think that was 15 yr ago, haven't done it in one engine I've built since, and only one or two have been stock rocker motors.

Done with a cutoff wheel in a die grinder then deburred.
