[QUOTE="davidd, post: 102770, member: 1177"] [ATTACH=full]25363[/ATTACH] This is for the twin. The only item that may be hard to picture is the "recess". That is the chamber in the back of the cases where the oil goes after it is scraped off the flywheels. The Comet is a little different. Only two oil feeds on the Comet. One to the camshaft and the cylinder wall is fed by the intake cam follower spindle. I think Greg's method with a shim is probably the best. There is nothing that can come adrift to circulate in the oil system. Presumably, any additional oil running above the jet would be available to go to the cam. It is difficult to know how much that would be. The supply seems more abundant, but it is flowing through the same size hole. David [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
