Mike, Thanks for the answer on Acetylene.
On another question i am asking,
has anyone, does anyone have a STC mod to drill through the crankcase to add piping to allow oil to hit the cam-lobes on a Lyc..
I hate to use this term but here it goes, "Back in the day" there were some auto engines that had marginal oil delivery with cams, rocker arms etc. , racers , I include myself would drill into a pressurized oil galley and tap a fitting , plumb with .25 copper pipe and fish copper tubing to areas of need, solder up the ends of the pipe and take jetting drills and drill small holes to allow oil to spray where necessary . This saved many an engine.
We also did the same thing to get rid of the oil on the head and externally piped oil drain lines to the pan as the return oil ports could not allow the oil to drain correctly (Fast enough) on added oil modified engines as well as non modified heads. Grinding of the head to get rid of cast iron flash and create valleys in the heads to allow flow back to the pan was the first thing we did and went from there. AMC 304-409 cu-ln engines as well as Buick engines come to mind. Man would those AMC engines produce power with very little work. Oil problems were there biggest draw back until we figured them out.
One other thing guys, DO not do "donuts" in a motor that is not designed for racing , you will starve the oil pump after the second circle, you need a dry sump to do that kind of stunt. The oil will stay on the side of the pan opposite the turn, the pump will just pick up air on a regular oil pump system.
