Scotty, the Chrysler engineering team put those oil grooves there for a good reason. That little stream of oil made for the LA series of engines to have a fantastic reliability record because of the proper attention paid to oiling all the rotating bits as well as the cylinder walls.

The newer 5.7 'Hemi' as they call it, is positively eating cams and tappets in vehicles that idle allot because they aren't lubing the cam and tappets from above or below thanks to design changes from the venerable LA, which they replaced.

Nothing like a big slice of humble pie for new engineers when it's delivered by engineers from the 50's and 60's!

So, you are totally right that those galleries should be squirting. All these bearing manufacturers are not worth the fingernail clippings of those old engineers who created the machinery that helped win WWII.

Good job VALVOLINE for sponsorship. I use & like VALVOLINE high temp bearing grease, it's good stuff.

Proper belly laugh at the mum gag. Did not see that coming haha. Awesome video to start the week. Can’t wait for the next one. 👌🏻

On the rod bearings you could have drilled oil feed holes in the bearings. Seen it done many times.

[davidrobins]

What an educational video. Thanks for your expertise and detail.
