Interesting event surrounding the replacement oil tappet pressure regulators.

Let's review. These parts are only used on the 1946 and 1947 356. And the Clipper Parts Manual only lists one part number.

When my restorer went to install the excellent used specimens provided by Steve Messenger, he found they wouldn't fit in the oil galley. He ended-up boring the oil galley .002 inorder to insert them.

Any thoughts on this mystery?
