Certain things to do with these can cause smoking.
yes it does have a pin hole sized oil pressure reducer, feed line is SS line, not sure the ID of it though.

I wish I had the specifics on the size of the reducer but it is many times smaller than the one on the journal bearing. It was running on a built s52 w no smoking issues. I'm strongly beleiving the differences in the 2 cast log manifolds are causing the smoking at idling. The sump kit should cure that, if not, i'll do what is necessary to remedy.

I do appreciate the input

next step.....Aquamist HFS6 and custom retune.....cant wait


this car is gonna be scary fast.
