The rockers probably lubricate from the cloud of oil and unburned fuel from the exhaust. ::) That thing is cool!

That sounded really radical when it fired up! I read some comments on them, 200hp in 1906 is pretty impressive and I thought the 1,550 cubic inch was a miss print. Nope, it'sgot a 6.7" bore, and a 5.? Inch stroke. One of the videos below this one, the guy burpped the throttle.  Pretty crisp.
