[SEL] New Way

[Richard Strobel]

Happy belated Curt;

  Here's my 4-1/2 hp New Way webshots album which may answer some of your 
questions.  I believe it is wet sump and bearings are splash lubed.  Not 
sure on the wrist pin.

  Engine blowby is piped to the fan shaft and supposedly lubed the fan. 
I've heard it didn't work very well tho.

Good Luck..if I can help in any way, just holler.
