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.

From: "selwyn" 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message lightning-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Lightning-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/lightning-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/lightning-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
