Title: 1934 Blue Star inlet valve guide lubrication hole
Post by: David Samways on 22 Aug, 2018, 20:54

Just pulling apart the engine on my '34 Blue Star and I find that the inlet guide has no hole for lubrication. It's an easy enough thing to drill a hole in it while it's in situ, but I don't want to go too big or small. Does anyone know what size the hole should be?

Many thanks

David

Just checked my 1934 350cc spare head hole is 5/32".

Thanks Mike. Is that the hole into the guide itself or the oilway in the head? My head oilway is 5/32"
