I am sure I have seen on the forum an article detailing oil flows for the various Dommie twins but cannot now find it, Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks

Do you mean oil ways , and if so then the one to take care of is the one that runs at the back of the cylinder head and barrel , this is a return oil-way from the inlet side of the cylinder head , and it needs to be cleaned every time you have the engine dissembled , the other one it just as important and thats the oil pressure valve it need taking out and cleaning and checking of the fit as it wears too , the next in-line is the sump nut and its parts the fine brass mesh needs cleaning , it the first tell tail sign of any wear or trouble from the engine components with specks of metal trapped in the mesh , when fitting this back do make sure the cur-clip is located correctly , the oil-way for the rocker arms also need a clean out too, as does the oil tank from time to time and the filler mesh in the oil tank needs a clean , if you have the engine disassembled then you can also clean out the oil-ways in the right half the crankcase with a air line, or a air paraffin gun , keeping you oil clean is keeping your engine healthy ,
