Yes, I know...that brass piece is a head scratcher. What you want to do is get a drop of oil into the bearings below the shaft that comes up and holds the belt pulley. VPI will sell you the proper oil in a dropper bottle. Be careful you don't get any oil on the belt...
Vpi Classic motor lubrication
Hi all,
Does anyone have experience lubricating the motor on a Classic? The vpi instructions are somewhat unclear: "Place a drop of 40-weight oil just below the brass piece." Which brass piece?
Also, I guess this means car motor oil...but how to apply? Wouldn't using a needle-point oiler be more precise?
Any help appreciated!
Thank you.
