In the process of re-assembling the head and noticed that I don't have an oil venturi plug! (Not sure if I lost it or it wasn't there) I've found a place to buy unless anyone has a quick and easy solution?
Is the venturi supposed to be flush with the head surface, or protrude a little through the gasket or... what?
Many thanks for help.
no it is not on the surface at all it is hex key (allen) orifice plug , just tiny hole in the screw. '
it has 1 purpose,
if the cam shaft breaks in half (or anything you imagine) this ORIFICE prevent starvation and the robbing of RODS and main bearings, and only head damaged and not total engine destruction.. BEST I KNOW.
not only that but the head leaks lost of oil on purpose to keep valve stems lubed and rocker lubed too. so must be controlled.
0.050? orifice, 50 thou. metric hex allen (CCW out , CW in , right hand threaded)
use a bright light and look in the hold , see it ? it will not fall out.
it is not a venturi, just clean cylinder hole, not shaped like a real venturi. (hour glass shape no)
good luck with that head
sorry for late, host was down I guess.
