anybody every restrict the the front 1/2" oil hole to the front main?

this is a production block btw.
I don't, I prefer full oil/pressure to the cam bearings and lifters, but I do use restricted push rods....Summit/Jegs and others have them,but you have to call and ask for them, there are not in the catalog.....
Basically the hole thru the pushrod is of a smaller diameter allowing less oil to the rocker arms.very helpful when using a high volume oil pump.......

Even with the restricted pushrods, when priming the engine with the valve covers off, there is plenty of oil going to the top end.......
