was a Roadster nut, so persuaded mangemtn to let him do this. THey
had a fact sheet they sent out for free on an oil passage mod to even
out the oil flow to the bearings. But, as I recall, they were mostly
concerned with #1 main. THe fact sheet was well written and very
detailed. You could have taken it and your block to any competent
machine shop and had the work done, even if the shop had never seen a
U20 before. >>

Don't know him personally, but his stuff has popped up online occasionally.
He used to have stuff on the web, someone could email for the URL.

Yes I do live & work in the Auburn/Kent area, however I have no clue of the
firm you are talking about. If you have a name I can see if they are still
around and what they have available
