I figured it was Ron Kelly. He builds an excellent engine, but is too high of price for me. One day i'll save enough to run one of his engines, but as a high school student i cant afford one.

Would it work on rear thrust?

Benson, you have a factory Model B cap there. You could put the same on the rear, with out an oil grove hooked to it, or you would have a big oil adundance out of the rear main, so the cops could track you after your next stick up!! but I think the rear thrust oil well would be better, divided in 1/3's. Just don't let the well extend past the out side rim of the thrust, or you will have defeated your purpose. This way you will always have a oil wipe on the thrust. If I get pictures of some we have done that way, I will post them, or put them in my picture file, might be awile. Thanks Benson, Herm.

Thanks I would like to see the pictures of your method for thrust lubing.

Dave, I'm wanting to build my engine similar to yours. May I ask what I can expect to pay for something like that?

For Ron Kelley your looking at about $5,000+. But it is well worth the money, and the last engine you will ever buy.
