Sorry La Tige, I got side tracked. Per Cranky Roller, I used 1.2mm/.047" i.d. restrictions in the fittings at each head on Walter (the "Garage Find" bike).

ciao amici,I did some testing on my new engine.
the pressure inside the lubrication system must be 6 bar.

I have reached this solution by making two cuts with 1.5mm holes on the connections of the axes to cam. the oil pressure must not exceed 6 bar.

6 bar are obtained with the engine cold, then warming the oil decreases by about 1 bar.

if my friend wrote craqnky 1.2, he is a phenomenon in all types of racing engines, however, 1.2 or 1.5 is not important, the important thing is that the pressure inside the oil cooler motor is around 6 bar, but no more.

sorry for my english.
