Hi List,
One of the IHC LB engine I have came to me in a basket condition. The
previous owner had removed the valve oiler pipe and wick. I need to know where I
can get wicking and how to install it?
When I removed the hand hole cover, I noticed that there was wicking
material wrapped around the governor weights. This wicking material was removed. I
don't know from where this wicking came. There was about three cups full of
oil soaked wicking. Is this wicking required? I didn't see any of this
wicking called out in the LB Operator's Manual.
The connecting rod journal on the crankshaft seems to have a drilled oil
passage to get oil to the connecting rod bearing. How does the oil get to this
passage? The Operator's Manual is very vague in this area.
