G80 OIL FEED TO ROCKERS ??

sidecar 151 · Post by **sidecar 151** » Fri May 12, 2006 11:02 pm

I have a bit of a problem in that I have a special that has at present no oil feed to the rockers...
The SPECIAL part of this problem is that the alloy G80 head and barrel are grafted to the crank cases of my Pre65 ARIEL trials sidecar... I did not build the motor myself and have after fitting it to my chassis found no oil getting to the rockers...
I have not opened the motor at all and am not familuar with the G80...
Can anyone help or advise how the rockers are fed on a standard alloy G80 ...
Many Thanks rob

Off the front of the oil pump to the union in the rocker box;
I`d suggest you revert to the Ariel practice off taking a feed from the oil return pipe near the oil tank

Wow, That was quick...
The union you speak of, is that on the top of the rocker box? (as I have not looked at the bike for about 3 weeks!)
sorry for sounding such a plonker...
