Hi,

I'm rebuilding my Cub engine and notice that the Cam Followers have 2 small blind holes in each Follower presumably for lubrication.  Do these face the back or the front of the engine, or doesn't it matter?  My Haynes Manual doesn't mention rotation.  I'm currently thinking towards the back to trap oil in them.

I'm also fitting a blind outer Camshaft Bush.  I presume I can now take the blanking screw out of the end of my side points Camshaft.  The timed breather will also be redundant and I will drill a small hole from the oil return chamber into the blind bush to lube the camshaft.

Any advice appreciated.

Your correct the holes face the rear of engine. Blind bush idea sounds ok to me

Many thanks robido and Trials Central.  

What other forum would supply an answer this quick!
