16V sprocket pivot pin question
Im in the middle of my timing chain/ guide rail project on my 16V and I have a question regarding the pivot pin for the intermediate sprocket. This sprocket is located just below the intake cam. The pivot pin is pressed into the cylinder head and it supports the sprocket. Pulling the pin out, I noticed that there is an oil "hole" in the shaft. I remember that hole being in the 11 o'clock position. I think its an exit and not entry for oil. I think the oil comes from the back of the pin and out through this hole which is close to the front end of the pin. How critical is the oil hole orientation? it could be something that supplies oil to other parts in that general area. Just want to confirm it before I start reinstalling it.
