Browsing through a Canadian Pontiac forum and saw an article about 1955-1962 Canadian Pontiacs using specificaly built 261 engines with hydraulic lifters and fiber cam gears. I'm curious to know if these engines had drilled oil passages through the lifter bores.


There is not a tool made that if you don't try hard enough you can't break!

I had one for years in my panel. I can't answer your specific question but I know I didn't have to drill any holes.

They were drilled through the lifter bores just like 235s with hydraulic lifters.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
