My RH10 head has two different sized Rocker Oil Feed Banjo bolts - the larger on the Primary side. Is this correct? The reason I ask is that I am building this bike from a box of parts and the oil feed lines that I found in the box all have the same size banjos and the size is the smaller hole. Hope this question makes sense.

The timing side is longer, to attach the long pipe from the oil pump and the crossover pipe to the primary side. But they're both the same diameter (I think).

That would normally be for an aftermarket (braided) line with double banjos not the standard rocker feed line.

Looks like I need a custom made oil feed lines as the threads are definitely not the same size on each side of the head.

Never seen that on my RH10 and RH4 heads. Or my 750 heads. Try new bolts ?

The thread probably stripped and has been rethreaded oversize as all three would normally be the same (5/16" x 22 BSF).
