Dave;
Sounds like a job for a good die grinder. Why would anyone allow their
valve seals to be submerged in oil?

Actually, we see oil pump up into the heads all the time. Lots of
aftermarket heads have minimal drainback.

Jack;
The stock small- block Chevy oiling system is pretty well designed; I
can't imagine heads that would be so poorly designed as to fill up with
oil. Of course if you add spray bars in the valve covers, run an
enormous volume oil pump, etc then I guess anything is possible.

I'd take those restrictors out completely. You need a flow of oil to
lubricate and also to cool.

hi Dave--Neil
Different heads have different drain back designs, is that a factor?
could the rockerbox fill up and cause a depleted pan and valve seal
problems? (with a wet sump) jack
