Thanks for the info from all above...
You will want to put some kind of pressure control
valve on if it don't have one. Without any it will fill the
valve covers up. And if the valve guide seals are weak
she will smoke like grandmas cob corn pipe.
I used vice grips. Adjustable locking pliers to just let
enough oil past to quiet them down is all that is needed.
