Paul,
Thanks for the info on the .074" hole.  I was looking at the rotor housing and noticed that there is a jet located in the bottom of the port.  How do you remove the jet? I tried to unscrew it but it did not move just rotated.   Is the hole size that is at the bottom of the port into the chamber measure .074"?

I was rummaging through some of the parts I have accumulated and thought about using the banjo style connector that is completed using the 10mm bolt that has oil passage internal and has a hose crimped onto the banjo section as a way to measure manifold pressure.  They are similar to the hoses and fittings that Mazda uses in the care for the oil cooler installation.  I would replace the hose and tee it to the other rotor housing to average the manifold pressure.  I believe these banjo style connectors are a part of the oil injection system,

Appreciate any input.

I just left them in there :) Use a drill to check the hole size. It is not critical.
