Which adds to the rear main leak in engines not equipped with a rear seal. Or am I wrong?
You all know I play with 21 studders, always chasing that rear main leak...just because I run a 336 oil pump in it!! [Hi flow or what?!!]

The pressure isnīt going to be higher then the lowest relief spring dictates...only one pump so only one pressure within the engine.
That said oil lines restricting flow can make a difference....but not splitting into 2 oil lines with the relief spring in the end of one line.
The added flow is the issue for the slingers to handle...can only throw out and gravity feed back so much oil...
