Hey thanks Floggin! Hadn't quite figured out what the best way to fill those would be. I guess they do it from the bottom up to chase all the air bubbles up? Dang with that thick of oil though that seems crazy......but it makes sense. I will definitely do it that way. I don't think I have a fitting that will fit the bottom but can get one.
Think I'll do like you said and drain all the oil out with gravity and then refill it with the good stuff. I'll try to hit a marine place around here to see what I can find. Like I've said before if it's good enough for the real thing it's good enough for the hobby right?

Thanks for the good words. This build has been a lot of years coming. It's nice to be in a position that I can do it right and make sure it all works. And help from you all definitely helps as well. Hopefully it will come together somewhat quickly and I will definitely keep the forum posted and up to date!
Mike
