OK so I have a 1974 cb200 that im building for my brother. Cafe style of course. I am a professional automotive technician for 11 years now and have alot of know how for what its worth.
Here is my Experimental left cam bearing housing (points side) modification.This is to pressure feed oil to this bearing via crank. I've researched a alot on this from Cappellini assemblies to bert jans pictures of external oil feeding. What i hope to accomplish is feed the left side bearing with oil using a little ingenuity and prevent oil starvation/excessive wear to the cam bearing. So far i have drilled a 1.89mm hole into the cam bearing surface at an angle to the bottom of the cam bearing case and then welded up material allowing me to drill and tap a oil feed banjo bolt. Also made a oil grove/channel from the oil feed hole on the cam bearing surface to promote oil covering the surface of the bearing and camshaft journal. Here are some pics any input advise is welcome! oh yeah the epoxy is to assist in sealing off a cross drilled hole in case the weld did not perfectly seal it up already, (but it should be fine)
