The more I have read on other Forums I'm starting to get a grip on why the restrictors are installed.
It seems that without restrictors too much oil is delivered to the rocker cover via the pushrods.
This can lead to starving the sump of oil as it does not drain back from the heads fast enough.

Tony.
