As the saying goes 'progress isn't everything'.
For a good ole oil can these days I buy those plastic squirt bottles like on 
the hot dog stand full of mustard. They're perfect for final lube on 
rockers, pushrods, springs etc before buttoning down the covers.
Chris Harris.............NZed.

Almost forgot:, To all off to Speedweek, have a good one, run safe, run 
hard.............enjoy (usually not optional but automatic).
