Cam bearing oil restriction

[tomcotez]

Thanks all. I have a splash fed car with a bored out oil pump. I am in the process of fitting an oil filter and thought the additional restriction might push too much oil to the rear cam bush, I will maybe just reduce the feed to that slightly and leave the front bush alone. The project I’d already suffering from mission creep as it is.

Incidentally, my dad pointed out how the oil flow escaping between the outer face of the front bush and the crankcase can erode little tracks like tree roots, and sure enough that is the case on my engine, have others seen this? It looks like something from a geography class!...
