[Steam-engine] Case main bearing lube

[Richard Strobel]

Thanks guys for all the replies!  Thursday we test flew the Case and spent 
most of the day getting the injectors up and working properly.  I didn't get 
a picture but the reservoir caps (if they were there) would hinge at the top 
of the main bearing cap.  The small depression reservoirs are now at an 
approximate 45 degree angle and I can see no way that these reservoirs can 
hold any oil.  It appears the caps are installed upside down.  Next time 
down to Barnes' Steam and Power show, I will eyeball the 75hp.

  Thanks again and we found the boiler number 22229 on the top right rear 
head.  Any info on that will be relayed to the owner.
