I was just going to replace the p/r tube seals and thought, since I dont know the history of the motor ,I shoud pull the heads and check things out to make sure the thing is even worth using. With all the bolts off ,I pulled the head and then proceeded to pull the two screws that hold the tin on the c/c. while lifting the screw up the washer fell into the lifter hole and DINK!, DINK ! you gussed it ,right into the case.
So now what, is there any way to get it out without splitting the case? Can I leave it there? |

Run it.
Oh, maybe try doing the tasks mentioned above. Guys, for a minute, think about the flow of oil in the case. Oil sits in the sump. Pickup "can" (as I call it) pulls the oil up thru the strainer. Worse thing that can happen is that the washer is pulled towards the pickup where it will ultimately sit in the pickup plate. If that happens, when you drop the plate to check your strainer, washer falls out. Problem solved. Beyond that, it may get picked up and sit IN the strainer.... so when you pull the plate off to check the strainer, you'll find the washer and the problem is solved. All I can see is a win-win situation. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) I don't see the washer "jumping" up into the cam or the crank... Or, you can drain the engine, flip it over and shake it violently to get the washer out... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) You're lucky you DON'T have a windage tray so now the washer will sit in the bottom of the sump. If it fell on top of the tray, I'd be a little worried. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Tom (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) |
