Lifter brace oil issues?
Looking at the lifter braces available they appear that they would impede oil drainback and was curious if anyone has any more insights on this or is t a non issue.
Thanks, Skippy |

Running a full SD brace in my street driven 400 - zero oiling issues.

They also keep oil from being thrown up into the valley from crank and cam, so less oil to drain back. Think of it that way. No issues on many engines in our family fleet.

Thanks guys, I assumed that with so many people running them that it wouldn't be an issue but still good to hear it said.
