If this picture below is too wide, does it cause the text to "bleed" into the green background color. If so, I would like to be ale to edit other posts in threads where this is happening cause it is damn hard to read the text when this happens.

Okay, some of these tricks do not work on this Forum.

It's all downhill from here, Kelly. Glad you are looking up, though! :)

Following some of the questions from last week, I took a closer look at the old Buick 215 block. From the numbers cast into the side, it’s definitely a Buick 215 from 1963. Pictures below.
I do not know if any of this was changed by Rover after they bought the licensing from GM and did their own production. In these photos, I drilled a hole in the iron plugs that cap the
drill passage holes, intending to remove them, but I don’t have a slide hammer that will work here – so I used brass rods to show the pathways.

In this Buick 215 block, all main bearings and cam bearings receive lubrication from the right side lifter oil gallery (even number piston side), no oil is routed anywhere else from the
left side lifter oil gallery.

Hope this helps to clarify the oiling.

First, the question about whether the two drillings intersect in the lifter valley – yes, they do. They intersect as shown here. This photo is the top front of the block. The brass
rods touch on the way to the right lifter oil gallery and the oil pump outport (hole on the right in this picture) and the left side lifter gallery (hole on the left in this picture).

PIC A

This photo shows again the drill path from the oil pump output into the block where it intersects with the lifter gallery. I’ve added text for the drill path to the front main bearing. This is the
front side view of the above photo.

PIC B

View from the bottom of the block, with a brass rod inserted into the drill path. The path intersects at the lifter gallery bore, just behind the iron plug in the end of the gallery in the photo
above. The drill path also intersects the side of the cam bore, to feed oil into the cam bearing. When the cam bearings are installed, the hole in the bearing is aligned with this intersection.
Although the hole for the main bearing oil is at the top of the bearing journal, it’s drilled at an angle to intersect with the lifter oil gallery and the cam bearing bore.


PIC C

Front cam bearing punched out, showing the intersection of the front main bearing oil passage to the lifter oil gallery and with the cam bearing bore.

PIC D


Top view of the lifter valley. Front main bearing and front cam bearing oiled as shown in the above photos. Main bearing #2 and cam bearing #2 oiled from between pistons 2 & 4,


PIC E

Oil passage source for the remaining cam and main bearings.
