... Even better would be a drilled camshaft that would have small

oil ports in the lobes, or even right next to the lobes, to get the

I suppose these guys have a patent on that cam so that Lycoming
can't use the idea in factory-new or O/H engines without paying big
royalties for it. It's about time someone did it, though. Glad to see
it's available. Lycoming should have done it themselves a long time
ago. Surely it's not because they didn't think of it.
