Stephen, the oil hole is soldered partly to restrict the oil flow to
the rockershaft bushings. This was quite common once the shaft and/or
bushings became worn because it would allow too much oil to accumulate on
top of the head and consequently leak from the rocker cover gasket and oil
fill hole. It would also give a raised oil pressure reading on the gauge.
Cheers...Bob

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 Cylinder Head issues
Can anybody please tell me how they overcome the lack of an oil gun to
service the nipples on the various points, as I do not have the original
Tecalmit tool I a based in the UK, also has anybody with a BN1 come across
the issue of the oil feed nozzle in the cylinder head being reduced by using
solder , and if so why? I have just had the original head refitted with
hardened values and seats for unleaded petrol. On inspection the original
nozzle has had the outlet restricted to about 30% of original hole
diameter.Thanks in advance for any help with these issues.
