That was a fun read on the SOHC link DV provided!

I always wondered why the side oilers (same block as the SOHC) used threaded plugs for the side instead of the typical "freeze plugs". Apparently because the water pressure at 7000 rpm is about 90 psi.

Awesome motor all right, legendary to say the least.
