Very cool oiling mod on the mains!

@flinch622 4 жыл бұрын

I question the value of bearing journal mods, unless reaching past 8k rpms. The bearing already has an oil distribution ring in it so... if you want more oil, why not open up the feed hole? I wouldn't want to lose any more bearing surface, so maybe ovaling the bearing hole outward into groove area with a small [jeweler size] burr would do the job - something along the lines of 1.5mm to 1.8mm would allow plenty of control. Busch makes a variety of 3/32 shank burrs for small detail work, and looking at that block I'd guess you could stretch that bearing hole 0.030" either side without ever touching the block. I love the question "Have you ever worked on an engine you didn't like?" - Monsieur has never worked on a Peugot, I think? What do I know - maybe he likes re-sleeving blocks.
