Be sure to use a cutter bit with a radius on the nose of the tool to prevent making square corners at the bottom of the groove. Supplying enough oil volume to keep the lifters pumped up might be difficult without a groove to supply constant pressure and a wide enough channel for sufficient oil flow. You'll still need to "connect the dots" on the bearing to allow oil to flow to one bank of lifters. I'd be concerned about the narrow rear bearing maybe exposing oil passages that the wider one would cover. Jerry
