Well then I guess I should ask the neighbor if I can borrow his dad's roofing shingle staple gun!You're gonna need bigger staples, just sayin...
I would stick with the 20/50 during the warmer months. If you have problems starting it when it's cold then switch to a lighter oil. Bike spends a lot more time at operating temperature than warming up.Just got 2 qt of vr1 20w-50.
I always feel like that's to heavy because I do ride in cold weather.
Is there anything wrong with like 1 qt vr1 202-50 and 1qt of 10w-30 or 15w-40.
Does the crank actually dip into the oil sump? If so, would it reach oil level if oil was at lower line.
Nah, it's fine. My comment about older designs of cranks was about ancient engines.Dang, my oil is now at the upper of the 2 lines. Is that okay? I don't care if I get extra blow by for a while.
Cranks dipping into the oil is usually avoided, as it leads to frothing, and frothy oil is bad at being pumped around.
There are some oddities though - some cheap-ass lawnmower engines and compressors had a dipper which scooped up some oil for the big end bearing, but that's kind of 1910 technology.
Funny you should mention JAP; on a triumph forum, that is an acronym that is automatically censored as being derogatory to the Japanese. Several people have explained J. A. Prestwich to the forum owner who will not unlock that single word.Hi Grimly,
JAP (that's J.A.Prestwich Engineering not the Oriental Guys) industrial engines still have that feature.
If it ain't got an oil pump it can't fail in service, eh?

From what I see online that company was liquidated in 1964. So unless they have been revived in some way "have" would be a relative term!When you say 'have' do you mean current production?
