[QUOTE="chankly bore, post: 22375, member: 317"] Laying the machine over on the left and squirting heaps of oil right through the banjo bolt hole in the timing cover into the oil filter chamber helps.Pre soaking the oil filter element helps.Loosening off the feed pipe A66AS or A66/2AS until oil can be seen issuing from the tank helps,though you may later want to fit new seals if they become too saturated.You should not tap any holes anywhere!Remember to leave space in your oil tank for the returning oil to come back to,otherwise things can get very smoky and messy.Make sure to remove the little screw in the end of the big -end quill OP9/2 to verify supply.I think Ron Kemp has written very extensive notes on initial start-up-you may be able to find them on this site or one of the numerous books.Run the machine at a fast idle and watch the oil tank for proof of return.I remember PEI once saying, "far more damage is done by heavy oil not getting where it is meant to be than by light oil failing!"Good Luck [/QUOTE]
