Extra Oil Supply To Distributor Gear

[wsa111]

This mod will supply the distributor gear extra oiling.
This mod applies only to the second & third lifters only.
This allows more oil to the orifice in the block over the distributor & camshaft gears.

I have put oil in the dist. twice a year. The little door that is just below the cap is where I mean. What you have pictured...did you use a 1/16" cut off wheel to make that groove ? That is a lifter you did the groove to ? Good idea. What engine is this on ? I have a 240.
Happy new Year, Pete

Its for the 144-250 small six. The cut is about .020" wide.

Not needed on a 240.

The 240 is considered the "big" six.
