Again, I realize that "assumptions cause problems" but assuming the oil pump is even marginally operable, the Model A/B pump moves a tremendous amount of oil. Even when the rod slams into the oil in the dipper tray and displaces it, there is so much oil that is flowing that it is replenished almost instantaniously. I have known of engines that had holes in the dipper tray that you could seemingly stick your finger through and the engines have lived for years that way. I honestly hope the Wiggins' do not follow-up to all of our armchair advice and say "
What's a dipper tray and where does it go?"
Exactly
what are you suspecting is wrong about the crankshaft?
