I didn't know about the slot in the cam, good to know with the 11 B230s we have (8 running, all oil squirter NA engines now).
I did buy a couple of the banjo fittings for the fuel filters to have in case I have a leaky one like on one of my daughter's car.
The 740 that I will be cannibalizing, including the oil squirter engine, had the pipe going into the fuel tank sender/pump assembly rust out and to get the hose for the return converted to the newer type, I would have had to drop the tank to get room. The heads of the bolts holding the tank straps were so rusted, I could not get a socket or wrench to fit. The car is getting pretty rusty with 306K miles in the salt country (MN) so it is time to part it out.
If the oil pressure is within specs. put out by Trichard, I think I will just pull the engine and trans. out of the 740 (oil squirter engine I put in in 2005) and put it in my daughter's 940. The engine burns hardly any oil between 5K mile Mobil 1 oil changes. The engine to be replaced burns maybe a quart/thousand miles and my daughter has let the oil go low below the crosshatch marks on the dipstick several times. It burned oil when we got it 2 1/2 years ago (COPART car, history unknown).
