Oil Hose on Rear of Head?

[Daston]

Hey guys,

My engine had a top end rebuild in Winter 2010 by Dulfords. I just did a Fluid change over the weekend and noticed that there is a nice shiny new oil pipe connected to the back of the head. Now in the notes there no mention of extra oil pathways but then that dosnt mean the new head didnt already have them in.

Any way, does anyone know if standard engines have an oil feed here or is this a mod? I would like to know as the car is up for sale and I am bound to be asked the question.

Cheers

Hi Dave no they dont, that is there to feed oil to exaust side of the head it is the last place to get oil on the standard engine and also the hottest

RND Engineering in Salisbury do an extra oil feed at the back, so maybe it wnnt there for some work in a previous life...

Wonder if they supplied Dulfords with the cylinder heads. Either way I am happy as I assumed it was an additonal cost to have it done.
