I cut the top out of an old valve cover and when I ran the engine at idle, oil splashed everywhere. I didn't cover with plastic as Mike mentioned. I am running an OEM oil pan and now realize I need to change it. At this point, it seems putting restrictors will at least keep more in the bottom end and less in the heads. I am going to put .090 in and see what happens. Also, on another site I read where guys are using different size Holley carb jets for this purpose. They say to take the rocker shaft off and the jets fit nicely into the oil hole that feeds the shaft. Since the jets are about $7 per set, this seems rather economical. Any thoughts?

Thanks again for all the input.
Rick
