Default Re: The Flathead oil modification thread...

John Kennedy:
As to the rotating the rear cam bearing, since you will not be using the mechanical fuel pump and will be removing the rod, it is my understanding this will keep the oil from coming up the tube for the rod. I am using both the mechanical along with an electric fuel pump as a back up and to cure the "vapor lock" issue that comes into play from time to time. As to the "grub screw" (generic term) you can get them at any ACE hardware in either steel or brass.

Glad the thread was of use to someone....it is always good to hear of failures along with the successes as I always learn from both of them....I have to admit that I never would have guessed it would get the response it did!
