Well, I have finally gotten round to putting it all back together after the timing chain and rail replacement. Set the dizzy roughly in the middle and it fired up first time.

I was a little bit worried as I had to retard the RH cam gear by one touth as it seemed to line up alot better with the timming marks than where it was.

Anyhow I still think those pesky new oil tube fittings are rubbish. I ordered another set this time they are Febi, as I wasn't happy with the other ones I originally tried.

The Febi one where just the same the end caps where quite loose ( would fall of under there own weight). Thinking what other choice I had, I just re-assmebled it all, gave it good cranking with ingnition module to get the oil around Then fired it up. If you look inside the oil filler cap hole the oil streams down on the first visable cam lobe, but it also leaks alot around the visable end fitting hits the side of the lob and splashes out side the filler cap hole.

Yes at least it gets up to the end of the tube, as it is feed from the back, but surely the pressure in the tube, and hense the amout streeming onto the lobes and into the bearing cases has to be effected by the leaking around the end fittings.

What are your thoughts?
