dumb question?
 
I have a 427 s/o
If it had Hydr Lifters in it and I went to solid...would the lifter oil gallaries need to be plugged? I was just reading this?



This is a seasoned block, cast as a side oiler, but machined as a center oiler. Drilled for hydraulic lifters, but lifter oil galleries are plugged to run solid lifters. Plugs may be removed to run hydraulic lifters

You don't have to plug the galleries to run solids, but why waste all that oil where it does no good?

Mine were plugged, running soilds in a hydro block. I checked that out when I rebuilt the motor to make sure.
