Cam Oil Links

7644 Views 22 Replies 17 Participants Last post by  Ragnar
On a lot of modded aircooled Suzukis I see they have extra oil lines running between two points on each side of the head that are blocked on the stock bike (I think one is the fairing mount for GSXRs). Some just link the two points, but some actually seem to have a feed from the oil pump behind the cyls I've even seen some that had an extra oil cooler before the head. I've heard vauge references that these "link the oil channels for the cams" or similar stuff, but I've also never heard anyone say that this was an important mod. Do people just do it because it looks cool? Does it improve cam lubrication for high-lift cams or for bike that spend a lot of time doing wheelies or stoppies? None of the catalogs that list them seem to explain what they're for (or at least what they do). What's the deal?

the early gsxr's had poor oil pressure when under load...the best kits feed of the cam cover and to the cam bolts...yoshimura has a trick to mod the cam cover also to improve oil pressure ..more the better ...if you need pictures I can email them to you ..thanks
I would like to see more about this too.

I don't understand how a modification to the cam cover, to increase oil pressure, would be of any aid. As I understand it, the can cover oil passages only act to provide cooling oil to the head. An increase of back pressure, would only reduce the overall flow of cooling oil. To me this doesn't seem like a good idea, but the Yosh engineers must have done it for a reason.
Did anyone get any pics ?
I would love to sse this modifications !
