External Top Oiler Experiment

I hope you binning those 26mm carbs?!

Awesome work on the external oiler. I've thought about doing the same on my 1428 13.5:1 Z1 engine I'm building but it's a toss up right now. I kinda want to keep the sleeper image minus the big MTC on the side of the block.

later, Doug

And then some! Here they are on the bench for the first(and also last)time. I knew it had been converted but had no idea at the time about 'This carb or That carb'. You know how it is..."I'll just hit 'em with some carb cleaner and all will be well". :laugh: :laugh: The pics will tell the story of what was, and what now is. I still have them at the very bottom of a large pile. It's actually funny that I ran across wiredgeorge's website during a research marathon and was so well informed that I joined KZRider soon thereafter; ironic I think.
I like the "Projects" forum idea...everything I would want to post is nothing but "Project"!!

What was....


What now is, until the Megasquirt is complete. That is a completely different saga on it's own.

Dammitt!!!!!!!!!!!

What was

Back on subject and sorry again for the double post. Must have been that last Brew:blink:
Pic shows Oil Coller bypass drilled for the cylinder head supply fitting.

Mock-up on engine

Clamped down for drilling

Tapping that hole;)

One more and then it's supper time. Thanks again for the encouragement. KZR says when you join that everyone likes pictures and I have quite a few more. There are so many, many other pictures I wish I had taken!:pinch:

great work man.that is going to by so kool.I too was woried about this.I drilled the cyl block galleries out bigger to acomadate the larger ape studs,then reamed out the dowels.The dowells end up being the real problem.I added about .020" clearance.Does anyone know the diameter of the stock studs?mine already had the ape's in it.

Ape Jay or Jeff Saunders would know; and I am sure many others as well. I gave away my stock studs.

It already has me wondering what kind of godies you have in the engine:woohoo:
Again, What is this feeding? Is this feeding a cam retainer or soming else?
Can you post a pick with arrows showing were you drilled and how far? Also, A pic of the head with the cover off and arows showing were it is feeding?
I'm so interested in this and would like to do this to mine:blink: No I'm not a follower I just like the mechanics of an engine and this that this is some trick stuff.

1) Wiseco 1170, 10.25:1 bored by Pit Stop Performance in Orlando, FL. All new Wiseco Rings.

2) APE Main and Cylinder Studs and APE main bearing support.

3) Barnett Full Clutch Kit with Copper drive plate and two sets of springs.

4)Switched to new WEBCAMS .395 Lift and Shim Under tappets etc. I bought a supposedly "NOS" set of Cam Motion Z4's on Ebay; all I can say is "Buyer Beware" and don't hold your breath waiting on Ebay to resolve a problem. One of the cam lobes was totaly "wiped" and worthless.

5) Head and Valve cover are clearanced for higher lift cams.

6)This is an open forum about our various projects and progress, no justifications are needed for finding an idea or inspiration to improve your own project. Your new idea might give me or others even more new ideas. That is why we are all here.

7)Last night I posted some pics of the thread tap in the oil galley hole. Boring depth for this method would have to be around 1 1/2".

:blink: :whistle:
