I installed one a year or so ago on my 73 TR-6 and have a kit for one
of the GT-6s...never had problems with the TR-6 over the years (owned
since 1980 and 160K miles) but noted that the top end always looked
dry...having installed the line as directed can't honestly say that I
can tell if the top end is any "wetter"...but as some one else on the
list noted, the line looks "cool" and gives me some idea that it could
be worse with out it...
Cheers

I have one of these engines too: 15 lbs at hot idle, 45 lbs at hot
cruise. I agree it nothing to be too concerned about, but I do
wonder about how dry the rockers seem to be when I pull off the
valve cover. I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to get more oil up
top.
Anyone tried one of these special add-ons that route oil directly up
to the valve cover via external tubing. I don't recall the details,
but I think I saw one of these in a Moss or other catalogue. All
opinions welcome!
Thanks,
