[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 24474, member: 59"] The recesses in the timing chest used to be fitted with restrictor discs to reduce the oil flow and while these were held in by the rubber washers something similar could be made thicker and held in by a gentle punch locking. They could even be made dished and flattened into the holes like the core plugs used on water cooled iron engines. This should hold them with no problems and cause no damage to the timing chest. If you read all the advice given to others on these forums you will find a reading/reference list comprising Riders handbook, Richardson, exploded parts list and Know Thy Beast. These will cover all of the basics although other books will be recommended for following the history of the machines and of popular modifications. As well as searching the forums go to "The Main Club Site" link above and check Info - technical and Members - Articles - Whitakerpedia. Only an hour to a Coventry section meeting, I'm sure you'll find it worthwhile. I was corresponding with RedRyder in Plano, Texas and he pointed out that his section meeting was moonshot away. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
