Why do some KB's for Lightnings have an allen screw in the snout?

I noticed that some Kenne Bell's for the 2nd Gen Lightning have a allen key screw on the top of the snout near the middle and some do not. Does anyone know why?

Thanks.

So the ones without a screw in the snout are not an updated design?

What I am getting at is.. Is there any correlation between the early KB's that leaked or locked up and weather or not the KB has this screw in the snout?

LOL, Ya as mentioned the newer ones do not have the screw.
But with that said don't be worried. I have no clue weather or not there is any link between ones with a screw and the leaks/locking blowers. That is exactly whay I am askin.
I don't want to start any rumors.

Sometimes that screw dribbles oil out of it. Be sure and check it now and again to make sure it is snug.
