[QUOTE="oexing, post: 145059, member: 1493"] . . . . only if you believe in the religion that oil trickling down along the pushrods actually reaches the hole in the follower to lubricate the cams. I say any oil from rocker bearings will run down pushrod shrouds and gets flung off any fast moving components before getting a chance to reach the outer end of the follower. Plus the hole in that place wrecks any oil wedge on the follower face where highest load is. My logic is to shut weld the hole and maximise oil supply into the camshaft out both holes right at the start of the lobes. What oil holes at high load places do you can see below, a follower of a SR / XT 500, hardchromed and "pressure" oil feed from the bearing bolt hole drilled out to the chromed contact pad - useless .
