Restoration of 1951 Vincent Rapide - Part 94 - Engine Oil Change and Restart - Part 2 of 2

It took a wee bit longer than expected to complete this engine oil change! I've been procrastinating and making the dual throttle cables took a lot longer than I had planned. Anyway, finally getting back to refilling the engine with oil and restarting the bike again with new oil. Here's a link the first part of this 2-part video in which I drain all the oil from the bike. It also includes the steps that I took: /watch/Ixu0SPHkmchk0 Here are the steps that I followed based upon what I've read in the owners handbook and the terrific threads on the VOC (Vincent Owners Club) & forum! https://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk 🔧 Refitted the gas tank 🔧 Reattached the [new] petrol/gas taps 🔧 Refitted the main sump/drain plug with new copper washer 🔧 Refitted the main oil line underneath the crank case 🔧 Installed a new oil filter into the oil filter chamber & fitting the huge brass nut 🔧 Placed the bike on the side stand [to enable more oil to be added] 🔧 Squirted oil into the banjo at the opposite end of the oil filter chamber [about 20 squirts] 🔧 Squirted oil into the oil delivery quill to get oil to the crank [about 10 squirts] 🔧 Refitted tighten the quill and tightened 🔧 Squirted oil down through the oil feed jet holder [about 10 squirts] 🔧 Refitted tighten the acorn oil feed jet holder and tightened the nut 🔧 Squirted oil down the pushrod tubes via the rocker inspection caps [about 10 squirts] 🔧 Added 3 quarts of oil into the oil main tank [topped it up later after everything settled down] 🔧 Removed the spark plugs [to assist in kicking the bike over without compression] 🔧 Kicked the bike over to try and get the oil circulating 🔧 Refitted the spark plugs 🔧 Poured in some gas 🔧 Kicked the bike and hoped for the best! 🔧 Took it for a little test ride [because you have to!] I would be most grateful if you could point out anything that I missed, especially anything significant.
