LA Oiling Question

My new build I have a small hole drilled in the pipe plug behind the milodon gear drive, but not through the plate. I dremelled a trough behind the plate to funnel oil to the cam thrust surface Behind the gear drive as that milodon thrust plate gets beat up by the cam.



What plug behind the GD????? I bush the passenger side gallery. Another reason not to run a plug in there.

I'm still using the same thrust bearing and even the bearing in the idler gear from 1988 when I bought this GD.


Edit: I run very little cam thrust...less than .004 as those types of bearings don't like to get beat on from the front to the rear.
