Pushrod oiling?

[doublekrossd]

Do I need to oil thru pushrods? I'm thinking no, but I gotta confirm it. I have a custom ground cam, comp solid lifters with the edm hole, Indy heads with external shaft oiling, and Harland Sharp rocker gear. I got all my measurements figured out for pushrod length but now I just gotta figure if I need the thru oiling or just to let the cups get oiled via the shaft. Any pros or cons in either direction? Thanks in advance guys!

Not if you have the external line feeds to the heads. Only necessary when running paired rockers with 4 individual shafts.If fact the feed lines should be restricted. If I remember right .040"--060"

Yes, feed lines are restricted. I did see that the comp 2901 lifters use pushrod oiling, that just means its available to me if I need it, correct? Other than that the oil will just weep into the lifter gallery from the tops of the lifters and back down to the pan?
