Hi all!

I opened my rockerbox and wonder if everything is in order because I am not familiar with the lubrication system. Does it look ok or is there a problem with lubrication? How are the valves are lubricated? Are they at all? The feeding pipe to the rocker side cover doesn't deliver oil but seems to be a breather. Nothing happens when closing the pipe hole at the crankcase. This is somewhat strange because the three holes in the port at the inner cover look as if they should spread oil mist. And I feel an air stream coming from inside when revolving the engine. There is a hole below each rocker axis but even with a long wire I couldn't find out what it is and where it goes. Any comment is appreciated.

Cheers, Thomas
