Decided not to half arse the oil system. On the left is a S5 oil pump. On the right is a 4 stage R4 Peterson oil pump. Should provide plenty of pressure and flow at 10000 rpm.

Inserts pressed in, heated the housings in the oven and froze the inserts using a 50/50 mix of methylated spirits and dry ice. Surface areas sand blasted for a good surface for the devcon to stick to.

Then this, ready to be pressed in. All the machining has been done with a maual mill and lathe with no digital readout, so takes bloody ages.

Turned out all right apart from having to use a sledge hammer to the insert pressed in. Some adjustment needed in the tolerances.
