He's actually refering to the auxillary/external oil feed line that enters
through a factory location on the back of the head and picks up oil from one
of the gallery plugs near the distributor. (Mine shares it's pick up with the
oil pressure gauge pick up.) This dumps a load of high pressure oil across the
rockers. Some say it's a must if your using roller rockers. The volume of oil
is quite high. This volume can be reduced by simply inserting a roll pin into
the connector at the pick up point. (The line attaches to the head via a
banjo-bolt.
