oiling mods for solid roller cam?

JUst out of curiosity, are there any oiling mods that need to be done to a block when installing a solid roller cam? I havent seen anything on this so might as well ask.

No.

I swear, James.....Your posts get more and more "wordy" every day.

The least I would do is drill a hole from the slot in the front cam bearing through to the dizzy gear. jmo

Yes absolutely , prevents a lot of bronze gear wear It is outlined on Paul Kanes website on how to .

X2 on Paul Kanes site/info.
If youre gonna run it hard, you gotta prep it. Do whats listed in pauls info.And also.smooth the lifter valley. This helps get the oil BACK into pan, especially in a drag race application.

All it takes is a few seconds of oil starvation and there goes the bearings in a few passes.
Keep us posted.
