    A friend has installed a roller cam in his 324, the push rods he has are hollow, will this cause a problem with too much oil coming up top with the oil coming up through the rockers as well . Any body out there done this? Thanks in advance.

    The lifters on a roller camshaft are longer than a flat tapper cam. He will need shorter pushrods than stock.
