Subject: Lubricating the dynamo on a 3.5 litre engine
Please can anyone tell me if the crankshaft driven dynamo on my 3.5 litre Lagonda engine requires lubrication, and if so how this is done? There are no grease nipples or "Winkley" oilers so I'm wondering if the dynamo shaft has sealed bearings at each end or if the rear end is somehow lubricated by the engine with a sealed bearing at the front (commutator) end. I need to be sure about this and so far no one has been able to supply an answer. Thank you.
