There was conversation about this a few months back and I do not remember there being any pictures to go along with it. I am putting a 03/72-40 F engine back together that the oil delivery tube to the rocker shaft broke, and took out majority of the rocker arms, the two shafts, some pushrods, a half-dozen valves, and a camshaft. New camshaft that I was sent was for the later engine and not the earlier engine....no big deal. 
(difference being the #2 cam bearing journal is drilled to deliver oil to the rocker shaft mechanism on the pre 1974 F engines, whereas the 1974 F and then all 2F engines have #3 cam bearing drilled to deliver oil to the headbolt and then to the rocker shaft)
It is always a good thing to have the home number of a retired machinist who is also into Land Cruisers. I was fortunate to have been introduced to Chipmaster Dick close to ten years ago now when a friend told me that his father and a friend of his father had just purchased Land Cruisers and wanted to talk to some local guy by the name of Cramer about their new trucks. (it really is a small world) Well after a couple visits and a few beers, Dick and I found out we had a few more common interests than just these silly trucks and a cold beer. He has spent a lot of time refreshing my memory about things I learned in middle and high school about making chips, and has taught me quite a few new-to-me tricks on how to use chip making equipment. He has always answered any question I have had about things no matter how insignificant, or what time of day, and has lent me a library more than once, not only on metal working, but motorcycles and motor sports in general. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on many things Dick. You have helped me many times with more things than you will ever know, and you did a great job of bailing my ass out at 10PM again tonight!
Lets drill some holes!!!
In the first and second pic, the cam is set into a v-block holder designed to clamp the round surface square and to center the drill bit pilot insert above the area where you want to drill. In the third pic you can see the hole after we turned the cam to drill the next one.
