FE Oil Restrictors

[Excaliber]

Hmmm, my restrictor is in the BLOCK not the heads. It is at the back of the block where the main oil feed provides oil to the lifter galley.

How many restrictors and where are they located should be clarified, I guess...

There are restrictors for the block for when switching from a hydraulic cam to a solid cam, and restrictors for the heads to lessen the amount of oil that gets pushed up to the rockers, etc. Both do the same thing, just to different places on the engine.
