: Had long conversation with Dave Hughes at
: Hughes Engines today. He said he doesn't
: know how the cam got out without the holes,
: but admitted fault.
: Sent cam to them this am. They screwed it up -
: so let them fix it.

: Here is a simple lay-out on the cam's rear
: journal cross-hole. I measured around the
: circumference with a flexable tape measure
: to get the positions and also approxamated
: it in degrees.
:
: The cross-hole is a funny size, a bit bigger
: then 1/8 but smaller then 3/16, either size
: would work.
: When you get the cam back, I would mark the
: positions with paint on the back flat of the
: cam journal and check for proper alignment.
: You can grind a little groove or chamfer on
: the journal if you need to
: "fine-tune" it in.

: Dr. D,
: I've always wondered...why couldn't you just
: have an annular oil feed by machining a
: shallow groove around the journal ?
