I want to install a restrictor in the rocker shaft pedestal to cut down the amount of oil flowing to the rocker shaft.I deepened the oil groove in the cam when I rebuilt the motor last year.Now I have too much oil and its flooding the head because the oil can't drain fast enough.What size drill bit should I use to drill the restrictor plug?This is a stock motor.
