The engine is lubed by residual oil/fuel blowby past the piston.

Enjoy,

Jim

I use Byron's fuel with 20% oil. Had both my OS 91fs apart to check their condition. Had the heads and backplates off and found plenty of oil in the crankcase,combustion chamber and in the valve train. Not to worry. Everything gets plenty of oil.

It might be too late now, but it's always a good idea to remove the valve cover and put some drops of after run oil on the rocker arms and pivots before you fire the engine up for the very first time.
