Here are some pictures of the Ross 2.85:1 redrive I just bought.  One picture

is of the input shaft by itself, showing thrust washers and thrust bearings.
Note the pictures showing the top of the bell housing, where 4 holes have been
drilled.  I'm wondering if enough engine oil will make it through.  Does this
make sense?  Does anyone know if Ross has tried this before, or am I the first?

P.S. - I'm definitely going to clean up the electric starter.

   Scott,
     IMHO the four holes in flywheel housing are to
  relieve oil under some amount of pressure from rear
  seal to prevent leaks (a problem with most of the
  Ross drives).
