[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 133583, member: 3287"] Good advice from Greg there but to save yourself trouble just blank off your timing chest oil supply so you might get fractionally more to your cams. I'm more inclined to supply a quantity of oil to under the piston to keeping it cooler and have pressure to your cam rail so you have a positive feed under the followers provided you have the holes in the leading face of the cams, not all cams had these holes as I've just had to drill out a set, now I'm wondering weather to open up the cases and fit the suction pipe for the extra (Honda) oil pump, a mod I did over 30 years ago (on my working Rap)with another 150 k miles and still the same cams but now using a slightly larger capacity pump wondering weathering to supply under piston cooling. Have plans in doing a Comet engine "C"series and a plain floating bush that I have already fitted to an "A" Comet but not tried yet, may be on the wrong side of seventy but a Comet is more manageable than a twin. The mod is in 40 years on by the Frenchman Herve' Hamond, I can supply photos if you want to try it and how to mod the c/cases. bananaman. [/QUOTE]
