Before the blower is fitted on top of the engine is the best and easiest time to fill the motor with the 12 litres of sticky-honey like 70 weight oil for the warm-up. (16 Litres for a run). I have been helping out on this dragster before now and just as I thought "I'll put the oil in", a vastly experienced and nameless crew member beat me to it and glugged a generous dollop straight in, just as our friend is doing at the moment on this picture. T'was a pity that the person responsible for the bottom end had yet to bolt the oil sump back on.....
