Chris and Ian note that the Nippy crank had a single small drilling from the jet intake to the bearing - is this like the Phoenix 'jet fed' crank arrangement?
If I am reading it correctly Ian noted that the Nippy crank often gave rise to bearing failures.
As noted the Longbridge 'jet fed' crank had a quite long (three drilled holes) oil path with a 'reservoir' formed by the largish longitudinal hole in the crank.
Could this explain some of the bearing failures with the Phoenix crank ?
