So on my new to me 320TT, 0 SMOH 582 grey that I commence break-in on, I bleed the rotary valve lube system – unscrewed the opening above the water pump, hand propped the crank a couple of revolutions, next glance at what was a full reservoir and see its complete empty. :eek: Where’d all the oil go? http://www.avidfoxflyers.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dunno.gif So I top it, run the motor for 15-mins, and there’s no perceptible oil usage. Is this normal?

I pump mine through the bottom hose till it comes through the top hose.i do know the rv takes a lot of fluid to fill.way more than one would think.
