All of the Spit engines, it's in the design, the feed port to the center m=
ain is directly behind the dist/oil pump shaft bush.

The first and most important thing on a 1300 is to make the middle oil feed=
passage larger. It serves cylinders 2 and 3 while the other two oil passag=
es (front and rear) serve only 1 cylinder. You will end up with a grenade g=
oing off in your race engine eventually if that one thing is not done. Ask =
me how I know.I wish I=E2=80=99d known that fact beforehand.
