I have blocked the oil feeding to the liners on my three vincents. without any problem.Clamping the muff with the crankcase is no good idea to my mind because the cylinder bored round will be anything but true round.The camshaft will have more oil which is an advantage.The cylinders get their oil from the crankshaft big ends.If you think about modern 2-stroke engines with oil/petrol mixture of 1/100 this is enough oil to lubricate the whole engine!

There is also the matter of alignment if you measure the heights in relation to the piston and oil ring you may be in for a nasty shock I blank mine off as well, after all how many contemporary bikes had that feature?
