Ok, so I have my motor nearly reassembled. I'm replacing the gaskets and the cam chain right now. I was wondering about something today while looking over my parts and pieces. Would it be a good idea to bore out the nut for the oil feed line that connects the pipe to the cases? I noticed it's an awfully small hole in relationship to the oil feed line.

Just wondering if anyone has done this or not. I thought I would ask before doing!

That small hole is designed to limit the flow of oil to the head so that the main flow is to the crank bearings. If you bore it out the effect will be less flow to the crank with catastophic results.
