Restricting oil to hydraulic lifters?
« on: August 09, 2021, 09:19:38 AM »
I'm working on an old circle track 352 that has restrictors fitted in the lifter galley because it was running solids. I'm switching to a hydraulic roller, should I fully remove the restrictors or is there a certain size I can open the restrictor to that'll work with hydraulics?

I would just remove them altogether.  They will operate with a 1/4" feed to each lifter gallery, but there's no need to.
