Howdy again gang...real nice day here in the big sky.
I've temporarily assembled the "D" valve operating mechanism and hung in
on the engine hoist and put a pointer on the reservoir for the excentric and
the pivot on the slide guide.

Here's a closeup of the small reservoir.

To my knowledge, there are no provisions for automatically filling this
reservoir cup. The upper bearing surface does show signs of being hot.
This is a dry crankcase, and from the slide guide on down are hidden
pretty good by the connecting rod and crosshead.
What would your suggestions be for maintaining lube in this so-called
Reservoir??
TIA
