if it matters I forgot to mention the oil hole in mine is parralel with the lifter galley and the hole in the lifter is at 2.5" on the ruler pic right above the cutaway


Yes, Brian mentioned that to me before, to avoid excess oil flow, not direct to oil galley opening. Which doesn't matter if the block is bushed.

This old pic from Brian must have been a prototype, because yours looks like it has a taller section above the cutout?
