Top Oiler vs Side Oiler

The top oiler got its name from the oil gallary above the cam, with oil first feeding around the cam bearing BEFORE reaching the main and rod bearings. The Side oiler design fed oil directly from the oil gallary to all of the main bearings and then rod bearings, which the new Shelby block does.

OK Both!
OK, you can build both a top oiler & center oiler for the price of a side oiler!:LOL:

P.S. The 427fe side oiler is an engineering marvel, not soon to be duplicated! All other engines are 'WEAK' by comparison!:eek:

No,,, they "replicated" it. :D
By the way, do the center oilers have thicker cylinder wall allowing for a bigger bore with less concern than the "thin wall" casting of a side oiler?
