I may be  mistaken about the grease cup on the larger FM Z engines; it is
probably  for the camshaft.


Dave,
On this engine, there is a small grease cup,  located between the magneto and 
the crankshaft that lubes the cam gear and  the governor drive gear.  
I installed a new grease cup on the connecting rod.  In order  to have 
sufficient clearance when the crankshaft is rotated, I had to install a  ¼"  st ell 
with the grease cup.
