Oil Pump & Camshaft Gear Oiling Modification
Aight den, @pishta I got this oiler just like I wanted it. Unbelievably, it turned out pretty good. Remember, I plugged the last two oil feed holes, because the only available HV pump was the five bolt and to run that mod, you have to run a six bolt pump and all that's available is the standard volume. I'm damned hard headed. I want to run the HV pump. I know all the risks. So here's what I did.
I measured off where the oil squirter would need to be located on the inside of the block, but right in the middle of the main oil galley. So, I marked and center punched the corresponding spot on the outside if the block and....you guessed it, drilled a hole right through the block, through both the outside wall and inside wall of the main oil galley. I tapped the outside to 1/4" pipe so I can plug it off with a 1/4" pipe plug, but I tapped the inside hole to 8mm 1.00. I got an oil squirter for "some kinda" Sea Doo, and rebent it so it will squirt all over the camshaft gear, which will SOAK all three gears. The camshaft even fits with the squirter installed. So now, I can run the five bolt HV pump like I wanted to in the first place. I believe the oil squirter will both cool and lubricate the oil pump and camshaft gears to the point that they will not fail. I'm gonna find the heck out.
