TOPIC:

thanks, I was kinda thinking the same thing. gotta make sure the oil pump gear clears the new weld also. It's almost flush so I think it's Ok.

I did the dry assembly and everything seems fine. The trans won't shift into 2nd or higher, but I think this is normal because of the 3 balls in the trans shaft which are not spinning right now... anyone? First and neutral shift normally.

I still can't decide if I'm leaving out the kickstart shaft.. no time left to decide

.

I can see a major problem.

that o-ring in the middle. Is that a regular metric o-ring. I cant find it in the parts diagram.

huh? what does that mean?

oops, i was responding to Harvey

It's the oil passage seal. it's not an o-ring, it has a flat side and a beveled side. I believe there's one under the oil pump also

It's so clean and shiney, and your gunna close it up and throw oil in there.

Dowel pins are in cases and alignment pins for all the bearings. New HD Cam chain is in. noew oring for oil passage, etc.

These pics are hi res, so you can click on them to see more detail. A response is appreciated!

if its not too late. have a look at the springs in the back of the clutch basket. in time they ware on the housing and get tired and loose. they can even brake.

OK I finally got something done. The bottom end is mostly together now!!

Does anyone know if this hole leads into the cases? I missed it somehow when blowing out media... I'm hesitant to blast air into it in case it's just going to get pushed into the case. There's so much crud that I can't tell if the hole has a bottom or not. Grrrr... I spent soooo much time blasting and cleaning everything....
