My engine is full pressure..

Also, how small a "piss hole" in the front plug for the trimming gear?

I guess I need to buy your book Jim..

Thanks, Dudley
Dudley,

There are many thoughts on the subject, Jim's book is very thorough and explains a lot. In my opinion, the from plug towards the timing gears does not need a feed hole. The oil coming out of the front crank bearing should be more than adequate to lubricate the gears, also, you will have oil from the front cam bearing.
