They have a small hole in the side that allows oil to exit. The stock pedestal lifters are heavier than bucket lifters, put more side load than bucket lifters and fill up with oil. The old trick for racers using pedestals was to machine a flat on the lower side of the pedestal to allow oil to drain. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Richard Mayor </div></div>_______________________________________________<br> Support <a href="http://Team.Net" data-mce-href="http://Team.Net">Team.Net</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br> Suggested annual donation $12.75<br> <br> Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys</a> <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br> <br> <a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br> <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br> <br> Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/michaelsalter@gmail.com" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/michaelsalter@gmail.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/michaelsalter@gmail.com</a><br> <br></blockquote></div></blockquote></div><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content">_______________________________________________<br>Support <a href="http://Team.Net" data-mce-href="http://Team.Net">Team.Net</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys</a> <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br><br><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com</a><br><br></span></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
