Re: Valve spring work-around.

It is likely that the keeper would get stuck in one of the passages and block the oil flow at least partially. Also remember that the oil still has parts to go through before reaching the oil pan, the filter is the first thing after the pump. It won't get filtered until the next time around.

-Although I agree that dropping one of those things down the oil drain would not be ideal, i disagree, the oil returns are huge, you could drop a dime down there, a keeper would not get stuck

Uh, dont want to sound better then you or anything, but any free floating oil in the head drains straight down under 0PSI of pressure to the oil pan, after the oil is used in the cams/lifters it is done.

No, not exactly, from the oil pan, there is the pickup tube, which has a screen, keepers are huge in comparason to the screen, it would never make it into the oil pump

Not all the oil gets filtered 100% of the time the motor is running.

Have you actually looked down the oil passages? I have seen imperfections closing them 1/2 off before.

The post I was replying to was not specifically about the head, you said "I don't understand why everyone equates anything in your oil with a ruined motor...."

Not if the contamination happens after the filter, it will go through the engine once.

Next time actually read what I write.

You have been going against conventional thinking, not superstition. Some good, some bad. I always tried to help you with your ideas if they have merit, even when others are bashing you.
