There's a few jobs knocking around at the moment and it's all starting to get a bit confusing. This next task is aimed at preparing for running the engine up on a power drill to circulate the oil before we put it under any load.
First off I'll have a look around the oil tank and make sure it's clean and to make sure that I understand the connections - basically that so I don't make a mistake when I'm hooking it up.
Looking inside the filler neck with a camera reveals the return pipe and its hole just above the return strainer.
Next to this on a flat ledge is the restricted hole which leads down to the chain oiler:
Deeper in the tank we can see the feed pipe which is raised above the bottom of the tank, and behind it the drain plug which unsurprisingly is right at the bottom of the tank.
The next step is to finalise the hooking up of the oil lines. These are connected correctly, with the feed pipe on the outside of the tank going to the feed connection at the bottom of the engine.
Next we'll swill out the tank with paraffin, finalise the screwed connections, and make up the push fit hoses for the chain oiler and the rocker box oil feed.
