Yes. There is an STC for sertified engines for the ney nozzel. Or for us experimental types, JB's positive cam lube jets.

LOP?
Any further comments from the shop on the condition after all the LOP running?

I didn't see it mentioned, but what was the verdict on the cylinders and LOP ops?

I have come up with another mod better than the Ney nozzle. I had an .025 hole EDM'ed in the center of the tappets. Puts oil right where you need it under pressure. Got the idea from here... http://www.claysmithcams.com/edm-solid-flat-tappet/
The bigger 540's with the high-volume oil pumps tend to leak on the top split of the case and yes running a 1/16" ball end mill just above the cam will relieve the pressure just enough to prevent that from happening. That trick has been around a while and it works great.
