Near the top of the inside face of the left hand half of my G9 crankcase is a transverse oil gallery from which there are two outlet, one at each end that chanel oil to the rockers (see photo). What I cannot understand is how the oil is fed INTO this gallery from the pressure relief valve. Note, the large hole at the right hand end (also a similar one to the left) is for one of the fixing bolts . Can any kind soul please enlighten me as I need to confirm that all is OK prior to reassembly?
Cheers
Charlie

I think the oil runs along outside the bolt. The hole for the bolt is a little wider than the bolt. Someone more knowledgeable on twins will confirm.

Thank you Clive, could really only be that I guess; there must therefore be a drilled oil feed hole that connects with the bolt hole but I cant quite spot it.

It goes from the oil distributor upwards.

Thank you Dave, it's just that we cant quite spot the drilling which seems to be well disguised.

Have now located the elusive oil-feed drilling that opens out at the outer end of the engine bolt hole.
Thank you chaps for your help.

Re: G9 Oil supply to rockers
You need a special washer with a seal for that bolt. It's available from the club.
