Cylinder Head Oil Pipe

[Nohawkscott]

Can someone confirm that the oil pipe PN 11421265376 is the same between 200 eta heads and 885 i heads? RealOEM says so but would like confirmation..
thanks-Scott

I'm unaware of any instance of realoem being in error. In any case, the difference between eta and 885 heads, cam oiling wise, is a lack of drillings for the 'empty' journals created by the eta camshaft (skips journal 2, 4 and 6). The spray bar is on 1 and 7 which don't change.

Thanks varg. I wanted to make sure there wasn’t any small differences in the spray bars that would ruin my rebuilt 885 head. The only spray bar I have is from the eta head.

Glad to be able to give an answer. The spray bar is just for lubrication of the lobes themselves which wouldn't change between head variants. The eta cam has fewer journals because it can, less load on the lobes so it doesn't need to be constrained in all 7 journals and they can do away with 3 of them for less bearing drag.
