Ford 971 Gas: Banjo Bolt

(quoted from post at 22:12:13 03/06/23) Hi-
Inframe rebuild ford 971, so I removed oil pan to access rod bearings.

Ive got a banjo bolt stirred in with other bolts. Sediment fuel bowl banjo in place, so not sure where else it would go. Power steering pump not missing one I can see and turned engine over and oil was moving into side mount screw filter. Nothing obvious on hydraulics. Nothing in parts diagrams points me in a good direction. Any ideas where that rascal came from..

Thank you-

(quoted from post at 23:37:36 03/06/23) There is a hard line that goes from the oil pressure gallery up to the rocker arm lube. I don't know about anything other than that. Not sure what both ends use to keep pressure in that oil line, but it's the only thing I could come up with.

That oil line is sealed to the inside of the gallery by EAA6594A seal. $2.94. Messick's has 4 in stock. the seal is a sort of hard rubber ferule.

ubber seal on both ends, I believe. Showcrop, there is the oil line being discussed here at one end of rocker shaft and another short line at the other end of shaft. Parts manual call both "inlet lines", but I'm a doubter. Is that short one just a shaft to top of cylinder head (open end ) dump of excess oil?
