| about that $10 oil restrictor in the head.... I have discussed this at length with several friends (and the "tuners" they know there)... The RB26's "oiling system issues" never were an issue until these restrictors started showing up. RB's have been around for over 20 years and never had issues (other than the oil pump thin crank collar on the early R32 RB26's). They had been raced for at least 10-12 years (profesionally) without them, and they never had these issues. The blowby was always an issue, but this seems to amplify the problem. There is some guy on one of the RB forums selling a "rear drain for the back of the head" and you weld in a drain into the oil pan... this has proven inaffective. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in... I'm not running one (originally I was going to, but after discussions, I am not).
