[QUOTE="Matty, post: 134148, member: 1339"] This is just an additional Information about the oil hole in the bore - and not relevant to my case now because I have blocked off the feed from the timing case. For the original design the hole in the bore has to start at the correct height to pick up the feed from the crankcase. But if it is bored straight through the barrel it comes out at the about the middle of the oil scraper instead of below it.- I found this out about 60 years ago and burned about 50 miles per pint!! The hole through the bore liner therefore has to be drilled downwards at around 45 degrees from the outside to emerge below the oil scraper. Matty [/QUOTE]
