Hi Steve;
That machined and polished from billet "oil pressure adjuster" sounded like
a very cool accessory!
I am familiar with that adjuster, but have never seen a hot-rodded polished
replacement for the old steel original.
I still have the MGB, and would have one of those in a minute if it were
available, although my oil pressure is good in
that engine, even after some 40,000 miles.
Sounds like your Tiger has good cam, rod and main bearings too!
Thanks for the info.
Dave
