Oil pressure
I have a pretty basic question regarding oil pressure, and really any fluid would be the same. How much, if at all, does the flow in a pressurized system change when the shape of it's path changes? So if I have a straight line going to one oil passage, with another line conecting to it in the middle somewhere, forming a T will the amount and/or pressure of the oil change going to one location or another? Is it anything to worry about, or is the difference nominal?

Interesting. The reason I ask is the topend oiler I'm making has a line coming up from where the oil pressure switch is located up to the intake cam oil journal with a T then continues on to the exhaust cam journal with a 90 at the end. I could change it to having a T in the middle with 90s on both the intake and exhaust, with the feed coming up from the middle. Would that be a better plan? It wouldn't be as clean but I don't want oil starvation.

You get the venturi effect when you have unequal pressure effects on the two different lines.
