Lynn,
   Many of us in the flying rotary community have modded the crank to 
remove the springs and balls and replace them with carb jets, as well as 
replacing the thermostatic plug at the end of the crank with a plug that 
is always open. This ensures oil flow to the e-shaft bearings/lobes 
regardless of temperature or rpm.

   This is one of Bruce Turrentines recommended modifications.
