I have seen this before Petre. The only things you have to machine the block which I didn't want to do. You need to blank off the gallery between the inlet and outlet port with a large grub screw too.

I think I will go with Lynn's idea as its the least intrusive.

Checked bearings all are good still, so the rare earth magnet idea is one folk could perhaps consider too.

Richard, it is not required to put a plug in between the in and out. I think the long tube in the return fitting (in riveted carriers) blocks off the oil from bypassing.
The Australian carriers have a restricter (A plug with a hole through it) but they have a different type of return fitting.
Niels on this forum has asked about doing this to his CMP truck. He is now checking out a carrier engine with these fittings.
