Randall babbled :
== something about cam bearing set screws ==
Oops, sorry guys, I blew it on this one. The cam bearing set screws are
_on_ the cam bulge, not the oil gallery below it, and there are only 3 of
them.
The bolts on the oil gallery are plugs for oil passage drillings, I believe
the three that are in-line feed both the main bearings and cam bearings,
while the 4th bolt is at a different angle and feeds only the odd cam
bearing. (3 main bearings but 4 cam bearings, go figure.)
