Oil flow indicator

[Craig Leach]

When taking up the rods in my speedster I found some silicone in the trans screen. So I blew out all three oil lines ( I'm a little anal about
getting oil flow in my Ts) Put oil in & ran till warmed up, then @ medium speed for a while& re-drained to check for more silicone. You can
check the outside oil lines by taking them loose to see their flow but not the inside one! So I drilled a 1/8" hole in the right front pan bolt,
brazed a drilled 1/8 pipe cap to it & installed a petcock in the pipe cap. Now with the engine running I can open the petcock up to see if I'm
getting oil from the inside oil line.

I remove my oil fill cap and rev the engine some. If I see oil spray hitting the cover I figure that oil is getting thru the tube. While this works with the original spoked gear, need to test with the solid type.
