MrBurns, viscosity is correct I'm shure! As this is famous british 6-cylinder in-line AEC diesel engine! It will work with any viscosity oil, and even without oil at all! :)

Aha! He put gasoline instead of diesel!

Wheels assembled. Though they are incorrect for prototype chosen, they still looks pretty good. To keep front wheels rotating significant sanding and trimming needed for inner washer part, otherwise it will stuck dead between wheel halfs
