[QUOTE="DucATIRadeon, post: 173276, member: 5456"] you wouldn't need to calculate the weight, just press a button... but coming back to the pin holes: in the drawing there are 4 holes of 1,2mm dia to "spread" the oil evenly to both bigends. lets define the engine as running. the 2 inner holes will get the most oil (closes to the central feed hole), and what's left, or can't get through fast enough, will eventually go to the sides. if possible: mechanically speaking there is no difference as the hole(s) are there anyway, would the M4 grub screws in the oil gallery be placed much closer to the outer 2 holes the oil goes "quicker" to the sides, AND you eliminate a potential (unintended) sludge trap. another thing: the 1,2mm holes are rather small, especially if the oil is "cold". perhaps the centrifugal force will assist in pushing it through the hole(s). another thought for simpler machining: you have a machining arsenal at your disposal: make the central gallery as you have it there upto the the outer most hole, and drill the 4 holes radially such that they coincide at your 45degree position. you will need to make a small spotface (or center point) first to avoid the drill bending away on round surface, and there is ample space to do that from your description. the hole furthest away from the oil feed (or at the end of the central oil gallery) will need to the smallest, the hole closest to the feed the largest. just an idea...
