Re: Oil feed/jets to the underside of pistons

427 FE Fords came with a small notch in the big end cap. The notch is on the
center line of the cap and is assembled so that it is on the "top" side. (It's
a V-8, so the rods are at an angle.) This allows spray from one rod to
lubricate the cylinder on the opposite bank. My recollection is that the notch
is about 0.010" - 0.015" deep.
