remote exhaust ball joint oiler

Post by A2022 »

I am removing the cowl less these days. oil change time interval increasing to 100 hrs. no chance to keep the exhaust ball joints lubricated. so, I thought a remote oiler could be beneficial. I like the exhaust exit to wiggle a lot and be totally free when moved by the little finger. shined the exhaust pipes. as you can tell, I like this exhaust system.

lubrication method seems to work but will it last? I'll try one side to get a feel for it.

SS tube OD = .061 inch

52 hr cold oil going to 100 hrs.

I gave it 2CC and then blew out the line with the syringe. it took about 2 minutes total. only the right-hand side.
