[QUOTE="kettlrj, post: 113346, member: 1455"] I am re-building an A Comet engine for a friend and have come to the point of connecting up the cylinder head oil feed. The normal system is for there to be two pipes feeding from the cam follower housing, each fitted into a metering union. This engine has only one feed hole and the oil pipe is in one piece that is bifurcated at a banjo at the lower end. I have two of these pipes to choose from so it seems that it is not a one off special, but I have looked through many photos of A's and cannot find a shot of a similar arrangement. I will have to make a new fitting into the housing that has a metering hole in it that needs to be bigger than the hole in the normal fitting as it will be feeding two pipes, not one. Does anyone else have this type of oil feed and if so, do you have any details of the fitting into the housing.
