[QUOTE="craig, post: 54149, member: 1959"] We seem to be missing some information on Vincent engines about why feed oil above the oil ring......and why the continuing factory bodge to move it down. Hundreds, if not more than a thousand Vincents were assembled with oil hole 0.750" below the muff, which now in 2014 and even in the 1960's fed oil to above the piston's oil ring. Somehow we are missing the 1946 engineering here. Oil feed above oil ring on purpose, rod length change, piston design change...........what happened? I understand how to move the oil hole, or eliminate the oil feed [ATTACH=full]2750[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
