do the oil passages that supply oil to the front balance shaft bearings supply oil anywhere else using the same passage?

instead of turning my old balance shaft bearings around 180 or putting blocked off bearings in the old housings i put a screw to block the hole.

but now im thinking it was a bad idea because i could have blocked off a critical passage to my rods, crank..etc... anyone know or have a diagram with the oil passages shown?

to maybe help me figure this out, does anyone know how my number 4 and 3 rod and crank bearings would be getting their oil from? like how does the oil get to the crank and rod bearings from the oil pump all the way over to the other side of the block?

thanks :cool:

here are pics of the screw im talking about to block the passages

it will never back out, and if it did it would fall to the outside of the block not to the inside

the block is tapped where the two plugs were. so i got two screws that fit the thread and screwed them in and use JB at the ends to ensure a hold.

my concern is that the screw went in too far, blocking a oil port thats needed.. anyone know? :confused:
