[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 137497, member: 60"] Are we over thinking this and other tasks?. Just get an Oil can take off the rocker covers squirt in some oil, stuff some up the timing cover brass plug hole to the big end, put some in the oil filter and slap her on the rollers* till it spurts back then put the plugs in. (*That bit is in deference to my age and right leg) As in so many things from how tight the nuts are to cleaning the points we need to keep a sense of proportion in mind and the date 1950 and what they did back then when they built the bikes and kept them running to get to work every day and hauling the double adult down to Brighton. The back yard of a semi or the kerb side in the suburbs was not a science laboratory. The survival rate should tell you they were(and are) tough old bikes [/QUOTE]
