Also, check figure 6 in the Engine section:
http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/1960%20235-261%20Engine%20Manual.htm

That is for a 1960 261 engine.

I checked a few more manuals:
1955-2nd 235 - same as the 1948-51 specs
1959 235 - same as the 1960 261 specs

If I remember when I go to my garage, I'll check 57/58 specs (for those who are interested).
It would be interesting to see if this changed with the higher compression 1956 "848" head?

added after checking Shop Manuals:
- "old" specs up through 1957
- "new" specs 1958 and thereafter

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
