I enlarged the holes in the Phoenix crank in our supercharged single seater special with a series of rotary burrs and a die grinder. After had enlarged the holes, I radiused them to maximize oil flow into the holes in the troughs. I have a small in-line pump that fits onto the end of my battery drill, it has a hose that fits onto the extended oil pick ups and another that goes into a large tin of paraffin.
As Simon notes the jets definitely don't squirt where they point. The flow test is the only way to be sure. As I also fitted the Mike Forrest double oiler conversion, we had to do this for both sets of jets. A large plastic tub under the crank case keeps your boots from filling up with paraffin.... That and the ability to vary the intensity of the flow via the battery drill
