Hi. I've got a B series engine that my dad just got second hand. The oil pressure is thru the roof. As in blew the filter to bits.
I pulled her down to have a full look as she was knocking anyway and found that the crankshaft has no drilled oil galleries from the mains to big ends? I first thought it may be a splash lubrication but there is not any dippers on the conrods. The holes are all in place on the conrods and bearings for a forced lubrication system but just not on the crank. Are there two types of systems on these engines?
