Can you get the piston to rise and fall at different speeds by changing the oil?

Ahh - thanks - but here's the thing - it's NOT animated on my computer! Neither does the (now banished) train go round - or the 'roll' smilie roll it's eyes any more! Any suggestions how to fix this folks ?
But - it's ok on Google Chrome - just not working on Opera.
Edit - It works now - pull down menu 'Tools' (in Opera) had a box for 'enable animations' which had somehow become 'un ticked'. Box now ticked, and SU back in full working prder.

thicker oil will only slow it rising - the falling speed should not be affected as the damper has a bypass ;-)
However - the damper plunger is missing, so the animated one shouldn't have any damping at all.

Hmmm - I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere - but I'm not getting it!

You have to be a side valve freak to understand that one

Didn't know that. Where is it, in the piston?
Presumably if it becomes blocked the engine will run a bit rich?
Oh and Happy New Year everyone.........
