Re: [Amc-list] 195.6OHV "full flow" oil - Joe's Motor

I don't think it will matter much. Putting around town I'm pretty sure it won't, on a 2-3 hour 60-65 mph sprint down the freeway it might. I guess you'll be the one to find out for sure! Of course you may not run the car down the freeway like that. I'd take at least an hour drive with it (once broke in a bit) at freeway speed just to see what that does to oil pressure, then pull off and quickly check the level before it has much time to drain back. I'd think the stick would indicate at least a quart low after a long run like that. If it's more than a quart low (assuming it was full when you started) I'd be concerned about driving it on a long trip with lots of freeway, but many never drive their Ramblers like that.

Yes, I'll watch it.  I do have that front opening from the oil gallery at the front cam bearing but I thought from our earlier discussions that full oil flow would not make a big difference.  I can change the oil line routing pretty easily though.
