pop your rocker boxes off
pull the rocker plate off
drill out the 2 oil return holes
takes about as much time and no hoses needed

Nutz, it's been a while since i had my top end apart. Are the holes that you drill pretty self explanatory?

here's a couple of pics of mine when I did it.

Can't remember the exact size of the hole but I believe it's currently like 1/16", you drill it out to 1/8" then take a 1/4" bit and simply round the edge of the hole you just drilled. Don't drill a 1/4" hole there as I'm pretty sure you won't like the outcome.. LOL
