| RE: Oil hole missalignment in main bearing sadle |

| The offset in the bearing to block is essential in all FEs as it insures equal volume and pressure to each component that is designed to have oil fed to it from the oil pump. You can bet that if it was better for any portion of the engine to get more or less oil than is allowed by these supposed mis-alignments Ford would have changed the castings or the machining or the bearings. Ford invested many millions in the design and development of the FE engine and if you alter the system from as it was designed you will alter the life span of the engine. Just remember that if you alter the system and you have a failure you can stand in front of a mirror and complain to the "Re-Engineering department". |
