    Intermediate Shaft and Bolt Weights (aka oil pump drive shaft or aux shaft)

    Cam Bolt/Intermediate Shaft Weights

    Cam/Intermediate Shaft Bolt and Washer = 77.65g

    The bolt is M12 x 1.5 x 50mm
    ¼” Thick Washer – Beveled (Bellville?)
    Washer O.D. 1.220” (about 30mm)

    New Never Used Intermediate Shaft w/Key and Fuel Pump Lobe = 1175.45g/41.46oz/2.59lb

    New Never Used Intermediate Shaft w/Key and center machined down to 0.775” =
    1017.61g/35.89oz/2.24lb

    Difference of:
    157.84g/5.57oz/0.35lb after machining.

    From the Hot Rod 2.2 Complete Review catalog, it says Koffel’s shaft with key weighs 2.5lbs before machining (which is what I got as well) and 1.5lbs after machining. It HAS to be gun drilled to save that much weight?

    Used Intermediate Shaft without key but with Fuel Pump Lobe = 1173.45g

    From the above, the key should weigh = 2.00g

    Koeffel's still exists. Wonder if they kept any notes?

    I may be able to put my hands on one out of a Koeffel motor to verify if it is drilled....

    Crap, I didn't even think of that! I have a Koeffel motor. I never paid attention to see if there is a intermediate shaft in it or not! Doh!

    OK, so this weekend I looked at the motor and it DOES have an intermediate shaft in it. Uh, that's about as far as I got. Maybe I'll try to pull it out tonight.

    How much benefit is there in removing 40% of the material (strength) from that shaft? Unless you're running a dry sump system (Koffel probably did) that thing has to turn the oil pump which could be using 5 or more horsepower and putting that cut down cast iron shaft at risk.

    That settles it, God needs you to do this now, it was totally by accident that I stumbled upon this thread ... or was it divine intervention?

    Any weight removed from a car/engine is a good thing...

    Ok in the article caption it states the center shaft in the picture is "rifle-drilled" but was too unreliable for the IMSA cars. The shaft in the right hand picture appears to be the same shaft.

    digging thru my piles of crap, I discovered I have one of those shafts.

    I think they said it twisted which I could see, high rpm for long period's of time using thicker oil.
