Hello.
Panhead,I looked at the other topic you suggested and the way to feed my top end is by using the oil pressure switch port.A bit more info on my situation.I have a set of std heads that are outside and inside oiler,so there are no mods needed to the heads.Do I plug the feed holes at the cases where they feed oil up the barrels and do I plug the feed holes in the heads.If I plug these four holes what is the best way to do this.
Thank you.

It would look more "normal" if you just use the holes in the barrels and forget about adding the external lines. Or you could use some Shovel base gaskets to stop the oil and build some external lines.

These heads are getting ready to go on my panhead. They are the '58 castings that have been modified for outside oil lines. The oil feed hole in the head gasket surface has been welded up and then the surface has been made flat again. The cylinders are unmodified and still have the oil feed hole.
