All passages are open The bar is old and groove in it sloppy but would that matter ? if you get oil but not enough , the parts for the 460R increase the oil volume per minute the pump body is the same the pump and control bolt change America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

This thing has been a beast to fix .I have been through everything on the oiler system 3 times.i think it is a "known issue " on some saws .The video confirms more or less confirms that . I think I will order the 046 high output kit for the pump .To all of you my thanks . You can ride a fast horse slow but you can't ride a slow horse fast .
