Also there are 2 schools of thought on lash adjuster.
One is to block off the feed completely by brazing up the hole in the metering tube
and feed the galley with regulated oil.
This is not without drawbacks as in time you will get sludge as not much movement
is in the oil.
The other is to "dump" the excess pressure with the metering tube intact.
This eliminates the stale oil problem but robs the bearings and cam of some oil that is dumped.
