The factory were playing around with all sorts of things on the oiling side at that time and it’s well made. There are some mods mentioned in the build sheet that are hard to identify and I have seen two more very early bikes with an oil adjustment screw in the top. My engine is probably the first to have the flanged Cambox fitted. That said, I don’t know. I will probably refit it when I build the top end this winter as it’s a part of the history if nothing else. See pictures of both sides of the fitting, it has different size oil holes each side and the larger hole is peened over as above. Cheers Mark [/QUOTE]
