    Oil restrictor removal

    Anyone know a good way to remove the oil restrictor from my old block without destroying the part?
    new block needs one.

    thanks

    Find a screw just big enough to screw in and then pull it out with a hammer is the method I used.

    Re: Oil restrictor removal

    Seems to me like there is always too much oil up top so I've made a couple of restrictors from brass plugs. Exact numbers aren't coming to mind(not suprising) but I make the hole about 20% smaller and haven't damaged a cam yet. I also like to spend a lot of time contouring/improving the oil drainback holes in the head. Not that you asked
