[Healeys] Oil again

[John Vrugtman]

Michael,You do know, politics and religion are like beauty, all in the 
eye of the beholder.Convincing a coal man that a piece of anthracite 
coal is ugly is a waste of energy.:-)

How about a more Healey related discussion.I have an engine at a machine 
shop for fitting a DW8 cam, which requires valve pockets.DW provided the 
specs for them.It requires holes of 1.82 inches in diameter for valves 
of 1.5 inches, a third of an inch extra.My machinist asked why such a 
large extra amount.DW replied, their spokesman, that's the way we do it 
without a rationale.He also said Jeremy was out racing and could not be 
consulted at the time.Anybody on the list have a reason for the oversize 
relief holes?
