One of the fittings on my 261 for routing oil to the head/rockers sticks out too far for me to use the cast aluminum side cover I have. The original stamped cover has a relief pressed into it to accommodate the fitting that the cast covers don't.
I am considering removing the line under the pushrod cover, plugging the connections, and then running a line from where the filter (now full flow) connections are, directly to the side of the head where the plug is in this
photo. That plug is at the top end of the galley that feeds the rockers.
The head I'm using is an 848 from a 235 and I'm not really sure what the plugged passage into the main galley was originally intended for...in fact, in a lot of the pics I've seen of 235s and 261s, it's just plugged.
Anyone think there'd be any issue doing this??
