The drive shaft = for the=20 OMP gets its lubrication from the oil that goes through the channel and = supplies=20 oil to the OMP.

Question - how can the shaft get = lubrication if=20 the channel has been block off per the mod to remove the OMP and use = gas/oil=20 mix. There is a small hole in the channel that carries the = shaft =20 about in the center of the shaft, will enough oil get into this hole = from splash=20 off the oil pump chain. How about beveling the hole to catch more oil = the drip=20 into the shaft bearing?
