>Transfer the oil pressure switch from the block to the end of the T-fitting
supplied with your feed kit, fit the T to the block ensuring the open port
faces to the rear. Fit the non-banjo end of the line to the T-fitting and
replace the wire on the oil pressure switch. [You may want to insert a small
roll pin in the end of the line first, but this is not mandatory.] Remove the
hex bolt from the top rear (left side) of the head and fit the banjo fitting.
Make sure you use the copper crush washer.

feed as you will cause a significant drop in oil pressure.

The Goodparts Roller Rockers are supposed to have needle bearings both at the
tip and at the shaft. Most other types have needle tips but oilite bushings on
the shaft.
The roll pin in the intake side of the external feed line is thought to be a
good idea as the volume of oil pushed through the line can be excessive.
Leading to leaking vlave covers (especially at the rear where the oil can pool
up) and oil leaking down the valve guides and giving a good puff of smoke from
the exhaust on start up.
