Hi all,

 

Upon rebuilding my engine I got thinking about the cam bearings and their oil feed.

 

The one near the oil pump has no oil feed hole, how does it get lubricated and not wear out ?

On the back of the pump, there's a tiny oil squirt hole, so it does gt an oil feed, though, it's unfiltered oil.

That'll be why the cam bearings are always wrecked 😁
