[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 108907, member: 3287"] On both my "A" & "B" Rapides I have a linked rods between the oil and petrol tap levers so fuel on the oil tap is opened simultaneously. Real reason why I did the postwar "B" is because last February I had to strip my engine in a hurry and change the main bearings as the cage of the inner timing side had disintegrated and partially removed when my magnetic sump plug was removed , using my slide hammer while extracting the oil pump sleeve but hadn't removed my G 50 plate dinged the flanged portion of the sleeve as it's very delicate there with under cutting. so refitting a miss matched pair of pump elements it now wet sumps in a few days so fitted a linked oil tap, it usually lasted two to three months never having drain off. Strip & rebuild 6days quickest I've ever done it but then usually waiting for B/E replacement. [ATTACH type="full" alt="28391"]28391[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
