Always a milestone.
Just one thing. I've never really run mine with the rocker cover off but I'd have expected more oil kicking about round the rocker block considering how much seeps round when it's kicked over. Maybe just not showing up so well on the video though.

I’ll tell you one thing Stinkwheel, don’t run a BMW Airhead with the rocker cover off, unless you need a wash!

Hi, dont want to contradict but that is not a 1977 engine in the photo, I would think its the same age as the frame. ( push over exhaust). Vince

@Stinkwheel
i went into bit celebration mode , didnt thought about it. my friend mentioned oil started coming
it was bit late. because was lying there for 20 years.
after 2-3 year work of parts collection came to good end.
@Vince
rightly spotted. i am using different engine then shown in picture.
all other bits part of diesel bullet now.
