I came across a 140 hd with the cast-in boss for the oil drain hole.  Is
this common or do I have the only remaining 140 head that was destined to be
turbo-charged from the factory?  <VBG>

Thanks

on my 140 head rocker cover for a drain.  


I found it easier to drill a hole in the head valve cover boss in the same
location as the stock oil return drain fitting.   Tap it with NPT and
screwed in a brass nipple of the correct size and ran the turbo oil drain
to it, all was well.
