Timing gear oiler
I found an accessory for the model A called "timing gear oiler", my A-28 does not have it... so the question is: in the procedure to prepare the engine to operate do I need to hand lubricate this gear?
Any reference to this accessory or procedure for the timing gear lubrication will be very much welcome, below is the link to see this set...thanks in advance http://users.erols.com/b-dwheeler/indexoiler.html

Re: Timing gear oiler
This is just more un-needed plumbing. Might look "cool" but serves no meaningful function. Save your money for something useful.

Re: Timing gear oiler
If you have any doubts about the amount of oil flowing onto the timing gear simply remove the side cover and start the engine. You will see a small waterfall of oil going over the front opening and directly onto the timing gear.
I wonder why someone even dreamed up such an unneccessary gadget as this. I guess it's just to lighten your wallet. |

Re: Timing gear oiler
Another way to test for oil to the timing gear is to forget to tighten the timing pin. If you drive awhile and find oil all over the right side of your car you can be pretty certain you do not need that device. I know this to be true.
