Where does the oil go in a 350 Block?

Where is the oil pressure plug on a 350 Chevy?
On the top of the block to the driver’s side of the distributor, there should be a small pipe plug. If you really want to get the plug over the oil filter out, read this article. It’s a 5/16″ square, not 1/4″.
Where is the oil plug on a Chevy small block?
In either case, the plug is located above the rear main cap (or under it, if you are working on the engine stand). The oil pump makes pressure based on engine speed, bearing clearances, oil viscosity, and so on. Pressurized oil escapes back to the crankcase by squeezing out through the space between the rods and the crank throws, as shown here.
What should the oil pressure be on a Chevy small block?
A steady, nonfluctuating oil supply between 150 and 270 degrees at 60 to 80 psi is recommended. This recommendation is intended primarily for racing applications and is probably a little excessive for a street-driven motor. Most street engines operate just fine with 35–50 psi of hot-oil pressure.

The main oil gallery runs parallel to the camshaft and directly above it. The lifter galleries run directly through the lifter bores on either side of the main gallery.
Where is the oil pressure port on a small block?
There is a small plug under the rear main bearing cap that is up in the block a lil’ ways and if it is missing or not seated will do what you are describing. If I remember correctly I think you can run a welding rod down the oil pressure port at the rear of the block where the sender goes. It should not go down all the way to the rear main cap.
Can you put unfiltered oil in a small block?
If that plug is missing you will have unfiltered oil, but you will have oil pressure and you will have oil to the camshaft and lifters. If you are trying to get oil to the top end with a priming setup, you have to at least turn the engine over by hand to let all the lifters get oil.
Where does small block oiling routing / schematics?
Pulled the pan, and saw a MASSIVE amount of oil purging like a waterfall from the two holes on the rear of the cam, and dripping all over the rearmain cap, and eventually ending up bal I’m the pan. Rear cam bearing was installed correctly, as was the cam plug, and 3 rear galley plugs.
