The aftermarket pumps have sealed bearings, but still have an (untapped) boss
for the oil fitting. If you don't have an oil fitting, you should have sealed
bearings.
I keep a can of sewing machine oil on trips and pump the oiling hole full every
few hundred miles.

Subject: [Healeys] Water pump lubrication. Dynamo lubrication.
Am I correct in thinking that not all the 3000s' water pumps need
lubrication? I have a Mk II BT7 but couldn't say if it's pump is original. I
have to add that I cannot find/see the grease/oil plug, but it may be
typically and obscurely hidden.
Likewise, I take it that the dynamo's 3 drops of SAE 30 go through the hole
at the end of the dynamo nearest the firewall?? It's just that I don't seem
able to get oil in, even using a hypodermic!
