oil feed to rockers alloy head single

I'm just looking at Ariel's design choices regarding lubrication of the rocker gear on the singles. On the early 30's cast iron heads with exposed valve gear history shows that there was either no lubrication or later the switch to an oil mist just to the inlet valve and later to include the exhaust...

Re: Square Four 1955 onwards - Dynamo removal and inspection

Re: Ariel engine numbering system

Hi Paul.

Many thanks for that update as always. The 1953 element I had no idea that was the case. All comments taken on board. Mortons editor is on the case and a search of the archives is taking place. We'll see.

Cheers Rob

Re: Square Four 1955 onwards - Dynamo removal and inspection

Will, I have carried out the flashing / repolarization treatment as you suggested. Fired up and now I am a little confused on what I am seeing. Get the engine revs right and I am showing zero on the ammeter. Above or below that and the ammeter is oscillating between charge and discharge First of all...
