Thank you, i will try that.
I do notice that after runnung the engine and taking the rocker box cover off there is quite a bit of oil up there and on top of rocker arms there is a hole through to the shaft and has oil in there so i feel comfortable with that but i will try a guage as well.

« on: January 05, 2013, 08:36:04 PM »
While running my AC1 i took off the rocker cover to look at how much oil the rocker oil pipe feed supplied and noticed only very little oil coming from the feed,i took or loosened the oil feed pipe at where it comes out of the base and noticed it only drips.
HUH , how can i check for oil pressure on this unit?
any input would be much appreciated:

It is hinged with a spring so when tension is released(IE started) the belt is loose enough it doesnt rotate much.
just temporary as i am looking for a correct starter(and funds)

Is there a way of correcting the valve timing,do you mean adv or retarding the cam?
I have however contacted the E-Bay UK listing you forwarded for a part number.
Thanks

Hi,I have annother project engine i could use a hand with.One is an early AC1 ser#AC1 5362 clockwise rotation,the other is a later AC1 ser#AC1 3702192AC1c00 also clockwise rotation.
Both were for parts and am putting one together from the 2,i am rebuilding the later series 2 engine and come to find out the camshaft is bent(must have been dropped on the camshaft extention shaft),can i put the earlier cam in the later??
Any help would be appreciated.

On yours where the cap is and  with center the bolt removed can be an oil presure hookup
i have added pictures in the gallery,nothing close up but you can get the idea

It was a three month project and it took 2 parts machines to complete ,the ugly machine on the pallet with the gen head is what i started with ,color is Hunter Green,it is a tapered stub shaft shaft off the flywheel and the generator through bolt holds it all together.
Next time(?) i will start with a complete machine. By the way our machines have internal oil lines different from most and allow with the correct bango fittings an external oil filter,i made a workaround and when i got the 2nd parts machine it had the same thing=the workaround! i can post pictures of what i am talking about because in my search for the bango fitting no one knew what i was talking about as it was an option that pretty much was rare.
