While you're in the primary do your friend a solid...eliminate the stock inner primary chain oiler system and convert the primary to a 'sealed primary' wet-clutch system.
What this does is eliminate all that dirty, clutch dust filled oil with starter/ring metal etc from being sucked back in with the engine oil. Once all the proper set-up is done you'll need Barnette wet/dry clutches and add 30wt or 10/40 oil up to the bottom of the clutch hub.
I did mine over 10 years ago works nice.:))THumbsUp

Cool man... Do you know your shovelheads? I have one that needs a new cam but haven't gotten around to pulling it... may want to find someone to do that for me...
This is the second one I have gone through. I could fix it for you.

Hammerdown, Have you ever had this problem with yours?
If you let it sit for a couple days, then go to start it, it pumps oil out of the oil pump dump line untill it warms up. The guy that owns it said its the brass ball in there. But I dont see one. It only has a gear drive.
