Re: Wisconsin, Model M RBM Connecting Rod Lubrication

Thanks, That was my thought as well, but I didn’t want
to sway the jury in reaching a verdict! If I would have put
the rod back on the piston like it was, and installed the piston
in the cylinder with the "step" on the carb side, the oil holes would have been
"Down", but it may have been apart a few times in the last 100
years!

Rod journal was not perfect, but at least "round".
Way too much slop in the rod to crank fit, but
I ground down the cap and rod mating surfaces
a little, and seems satisfactory now.

Still wondering what to do about the missing Elkhart magneto,
so if anyone has suggestions, much appreciated.

Prepare to be boarded!
