Subject: | Re: Pre oiling new rebuild |
Hey Peter are you VK3EKA?
I'm WB2ZDH
OK, on the pre-oil. As I said, I never tried it but I think it would be a
great way to verify that the oil is getting all around.
Another TRICK. Install an oil temp probe in the 1/8" NPT thread in the
front of the case. You will get REAL temp reading that really mean
something. They will be of the FRONT bearing. I have heard of 25 Deg
F differences between the front and rear of the case.
