Hello,

Can anyone tell me what what the holes labeled 1, 2, and 3 in the attached image are for. I cant seem to find a good reference picture and the engine was torn down when I received it. Holes 1 and 2 appears to go into the engine. Hole #3 appears to be a blind hole.

It is a 1954 235. The image is of the intake/exhaust side of the engine.

Hole #1 is a return line port back to the crankcase for a bypass-type oil filter. Holes 2 and 3 are attachment points for different types of throttle linkage bell cranks.

Either 2 or 3 will be for the throttle linkage, depending on the year of the vehicle, and possibly the vehicle the engine is installed into. Yes, the hole near the oil pan rail is for the return line from the bottom fitting of the oil filter.
