SET IT AND FORGET IT

SET IT AND FORGET IT
Inexpensive set screw sets are very handy to have around the shop. They work great as oil restrictors. They can also be used as oil galley plugs in small import and late model cylinder heads if you need to remove steel oil galley balls for cleaning. These are a cheap set that drill like butter. On an engine like a BB Chrysler or an FE Ford, I like to tap and re­strict the oil galley in the top of the cylinder head just under the rocker shaft. That way if an orifice change is desired its easy to remove the set screw and change the restrictor size.
