That's kind of bugs me too. The biggest value of this list is technical
information, second is encouragement that we're not alone in this goofy
enterprise. I think if you're answering a technical question you should copy
the list. Apparently multiple people answered the valve spring question a
few days ago and I didn't see a single post.
Perhaps you're all just keeping the information from me. Is there a deeper,
secret FOT?

One of the problems with everyone answering off-list ... never know if
someone else answered or not.

The one that I picked up from the parts bin seems to be about .192" ... a
#11 drill shank will go in slightly but not all the way through.

I make it to be about .809" ... I measured .713" from the end of the shaft
to the side of the #11 drill shank.
Note that the hole in the dog is slightly smaller, about .185"; and that
both holes are off-center so the dog can only go one way on the shaft.
