 I'm not sure what Judson is referring to, but Garry Kemp who built my 2.2L engine also built in the oil restrictor to the head. Next to steel cam followers, ported/gas flowed 2.2L head, Garry's own custom 104-like cam and original 107 cam, uprated valves (later lotus or JHPS) etc etc he also fitted an extra cooling outlet near #cyl 4 underneath inlet manifold and plugged the manifold cooling outlet that goes to the interior heating.

on later lotus engines this cooling outlet comes standard: 907 engines tend to overheat near #cyl 4 due to a flaw in the cooling flow. The extra cooling outlet there overcomes this issue and may prevent burning up the top end. But Judson may have other mods in mind.

My engine also has the lotus x-drilled crank and block has been ten doweled and oil pan has been modified.

hope this helps. I can make pictures of the cooling outlet if you want.

Good luck and  i look forward to see pictures of your great project
