[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 96817, member: 3287"] Nigel Spaxman said I have been thinking about blocking mine to get more oil going to the cams. In my engine the inlet lobe on the rear cam is the main wear problem and that is the one that shares it's oil supply with the rear piston. What I am reading here suggests it would be a good idea. There are a lot of people who have blocked those holes with no detriment. I have not read any stories ever of anyone having problems from blocking those holes. Nigel my handsome, fit an extra pump. Over 300k on same MK 2 cams, first 100k 5 to 10 thou worn next 200k 2 to 4 thou.So they will see me out Because I fitted a Honda oil p/p and have a constant 0.5 to 1.0 bar pressure squirting through cams onto stelited followers. bananaman [/QUOTE]
