[SEL] Oil drips

[Best, George]

Dave,

You're right, that the piston is getting the same amount of oil.
However, the piston is traveling 3 times the distance in that same
period which means it is getting one third the amount of oil for the
distance traveled.

Some people get so picky over what you say rather than what you meant
;-)

Ps... Changed the subject since we're not talking about the Sattley
manual anymore.  Of course this thread has about run its course, so the
change probably isn't needed.
