Old news 
Not the only person to have thought of it, but maybe one of the first to implement it. My own Idea was to have a new thrust made up in bronze fixing the bottom half with one small counter sunk allen head screw, the screw itself acting as the oil feed, with a hole drilled all the way through the center of it into the mian bearing oil feed, feeding a small 'v' groove in the thrust face, all the way round. The bottom half designed to overlap the top half (lap joint sort of thing) to transfer to oil to the top half without it getting behind the joint Maybe a bit more complex than what Carl has done, but would ensure an even film of oil all the way round. The reason the screws are used is to keep the thrust bearing, tight up against the bearing housing, preventing the oil pressure forcing the bearing out against the crank, where this would be just as bad if there were no oil feed. |

nice execution of a simple and yet clever idea ,

Nice one guys, did you notice any loss in oil pressure at all? were you using a grey or double grey diaphram? Edited by Jimster on 13th Jan, 2008. Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing

Was thinking brass perhaps? Just in case they got loose they would not do any harm. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

2 MM, the thrust face is countersunk , so looks bigger obviously. |

tbh if they got loose i don't think it'd matter what they were made of.

A softer metal, the heads on the screws would just wear away, stainless would harm the thrust surface of the crank.

We have Carl's oil fed thrust conversion fitted. We think a badly setup double grey is to blame. We're yet to pull the engine and see exactly what the cause and effect is... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
