Oh I have lots of pics. I'm making an entire 195.6 OHV project build page.

Well the TSM says 30 weight is OK. 20W-50 I hope is "close". My guess is
that the synchros will be too slow, but it's not a big deal to change it. I
wanted to peek inside anyways since it's been in there a year and a half and
if you recall, I screwed it up the first time! I apparently hadn't properly
seated the input shaft clip and it pushed in... since it's perfect in there
now I assume that was the case.

Not worth the effort of course. You just get used to it. It's disconcerting
because it permanently has the symptom of a badly adjusted clutch: all in at
the very top of the pedal. Fully disengaged by pushing the pedal 3 inches
with one finger! Working perfectly, as designed. Yep, for grandma.
