Many thanks to all who replied - Moss (Europe) should also be grateful for
this list covering for their oversight in not including instructions with
the kit they sent me.
It may be worth noting for anyone contemplating this conversion that many of
those who replied (and had done the conversion themselves) commented that
they found it a very worthwhile "insurance" against shaft and rocker wear.
While all replies were accurate and helpful, I have included Berry
Kercheval's here as being perhaps the most comprehensive for reference by
others. (It also should help understand what this kit does if you're
thinking of doing the conversion yourself).
Berry's instructions for fitting the Moss rocker oil feed kit:
>I got what I think is the same kit from TRF. There is a bolt on the back of
>the head, basically between it and the battery. Take out the bolt, save the
>washer. Assemble the banjo bolt, a copper washer, the banjo end of the hose,
>another washer and insert into the head. DOn't overtighten or it will leak.
>DOn't undertighten or it will leak. I recommend snugging it up to say, 5 or
>10 ft-lbs torque and seeing if it leaks when it runs. If so, tighten until
>the leak stops.
>
>But first, do the other end. Actually you may want to do this first (*others
>also said do the lower end first*).
>Mine had a T-fitting with a male and female thread. Take the oil pressure
warning
>switch out of the left side of the block, screw the male thread of the Tee in,
>then put the oil pressure warning switch back into the female thread. THese
>are pipe threads so you can crank on them, within reason. I used some teflon
>tape to make sure they didn't leak.
>
>Reconnect all the wires and anything you had to remove to get to the bits,
>fire it up and check for leaks.
