Hi Guys,
I am new here so sorry if this is known folklore. I happen to be fixing some oil leaks from the side tappet cover on the motor and noticed something unusual. The oil drain pockets cast into the engine block in this area are all through drains except for the 2nd drain pocket which appears to be just a cast pocket. In the attached photo, the 2nd pocket (from the front of the engine) is just a pocket, whereas next to it, the 1st pocket is a through drain, as are all the remaining pockets in this area. Are all 1725 motors made this way?
Regards,
Mark
