Both my B-38 and B40 have the oiler hole threaded.  So I guess some B-38s don't have their oiler hole threaded?

The B-40 engine showed up early this morning on my door step, looks like the box couldn't fit in mailbox out on the street.  One box of the display, I expect its the pulleys, is being delivered later today.  I'm just waiting for the postman to finish at the street mailboxes.

The Carl's B-40 engine has a new heater, since the back chrome plate is missing.  That's a bummer but no big deal but I'll be looking for another B-38 now as that will bother me to no end.  What I have done is move my current B-38 heater cylinder to the B-40 base.  I also took the time to flip the front plate, the shaft oiler was clocked wrong for whatever reason.  It was fun getting all those aluminum rings off but now I can oil it properly.
