Bimmer:
First, full sympathy in sharing Munich's revenge.
As regards lube under the primer shuttle, I'd be almighty careful about doing that; oil does have a habit of migrating. I used to put powdered graphite under the shuttle, but now I keep it bone dry with the new shuttle plating.
As regards oiling the ram, after a long loading run, I wipe it down thoro'ly, and then lay a bead of oil around the ram, and let it settle thru' the mechanism. The next day, I'll oil those holes on the crank.
Wish I had a nickle for every round thru' mine.
