I sent you a pic of the oil line routing.

Which hole in the head does this oil line go through? I tore this engine down 9 years ago, and did not take a picture.
Thanks for any help - picutes, diagram, hole count from front or rear.

Got the head on and ready to torque. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,378 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,378 | The only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked.
