Ok thanks, that's what I was figuring, but which manual is correct. The
RPI/Haynes way would put the oil holes 180 degrees away from each other.
The factory manual, around 70 degrees away. I'm leaning towards the factory
way. I don't think the pushrod is going to get much oil if the hole is on
the opposite side.
