B12 mk1 ape studs and stud o rings

[Alex]

Hello all. Came across this this evening. Ape studs are a lot thicker than standard and in turn cut down the space around the stud which must mean it’s cutting down the oil flow as well? Thoughts and remedies please. Maybe external oil lines?

I wondered about this but not had any problems with my 1216cc turbo's.

When you think about it there's still way more space past them than the oil jet that feed up.

Slightly straying a bit but what's your thoughts on EFE stud's compared with the oil boiler ones.
