KISS!

Keep it Simple stupid.

Lighter is better.



Agreed. But what do you suggest would be lighter and simpler?




Well, the first question is - does it really NEED a pre-oiler?

If it has roller tappets installed, it really doesn't need the preoiler.

If it doesn't have roller tappets, I'd add those before adding an oiler.

YMMV
