    I think the oil feed is through a oil hole in the block into the head and then into one of the rocker supports. But it is a long time since I've worked on one of these! My manual says to make sure you align the oil holes in the rocker shaft towards the pushrod side, so tracing back from them would be a clue.

    engine.jpg remove engine.jpg The drg shows the oil pipe going to back of the cylinder head . Sorry about the instruction being up side down , I rotated it after scanning but it rotated again when I loaded it . Instruction 7 says remove oil pipe from rear of cylinder head.

    Good evening.
    Head had a small plate over oil feed hole.
    Block has a bolt plug.
    Broken spark plug out, after careful drilling.
    Very happy.
    Pistons freed up.
    Thanks.

    I don't know if they are the same, but I would be very surprised if they were different - while the Series 2 went to UNF threads from BSF, this really only applied to new parts, carry over parts from Series 1 stayed BSF, and only changed later in Series 2a, so I doubt changes were made on an engine that was being dropped. Although you never know!

    Plug 19 is only a plug to remove rocker shaft , no oil feed LR Block.jpg Early S1 oil feed pipe zzz.jpg Late S1 oil feed pipe late s1.jpg S2 oil feed pipeS2.jpg My parts books shows early S1 P/N 23522 , late S! P/N 267981 & S2 P/N 267981
    I would say they are all interchangeable it is only the fitting at the lower end that is different. You also may find the thread that the oil light switch screw's in is different . I found this when I needed to replace the oil light switch on my 80" & it was not available , I was told by LR parts they supply S2 switches but found I had to run a die nut over the thread . One the thread is rounded in bottom of the thread the other is sharp , if you know what I mean . I also found the S2 one was set for the light to come on or go out at a different pressure. I managed to find a new one in Malta & also fitted a Rover oil / temperature gauge as well.

    For what it is worth, according to John Smith the spread bore engine was put into Landrovers from August 1954. No numbers given!
