    You can buy Champion spark plugs (RA4HC 0r 905) which come with the caps.

I asked them if they were sold separately. Their reply was no and they even went to their NGK rep to ask about it...Discount Auto was told that NGK only packages the plugs with the threads-no caps. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a location where I can buy the screw-on caps to put on the plugs? Thanks Bear N82PB

    SelwynThe problem with pushing a Lightning or any other aircraft with a swi veling nose wheel backwards is the wheel turns to either side and you can't stear it. With the castered wheels on the cart it doesn't matter if the n ose wheel turns as you can push the nose either left or right at the same t ime you are pushing it backwards into the hanger. I used 2 inch casters as I have smooth asphalt. If your ramp is rougher just use bigger casters bu t you will need a longer ramp to get it onto the cart.

    Hi Clive. Sorry, I didn't mean to sound corrective, just that I've seen enough of these things in bits to learn a few details. Without modifying the rocker shaft bush most of the oil flow would end up issuing from the top of the rocker as that is the low resistance path. The rocker shaft would be lubricated from the dribble and splash effect. Drilling a hole in the bush provides a direct path to the rocker shaft but this would be relatively restricted by the fit of the bush on the shaft so most oil probably still ends up coming out the top of the rocker. Just to be clear, by "the top of the rocker" I mean the upper tip of the rocker as it sits in the engine. The gallery exits here, not on the inner face which contacts the valve stem. -------- Cheers, Selwyn Kit 66 VH-ELZ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=367190#367190
