What is this and where does it go?
« on: July 05, 2013, 08:50:33 AM »
I am putting my engine back together today and I found this thing. It was with my piston heads, but I can't find it in the fiche or a place that makes sense. It seems to have a little wear on it rather than just being a dowel for mating. Any ideas?



Hope that image works. They changed picasa...

That looks like the oil control valve that goes in the end of the cylinder, there should be two of them.

Looks like a sleeve that helps to hold a gasket.

Dowel pins for gasket and head locating are usually straight tubes and not profiled like that.

It is solid. It looks just like a dowel for the clutch cover. I am hoping it is a dowel for the engine cases. I just assembled the clutch onto the engine and realized I didn't include the starter sprocket.  ::) So, I'll take the cases back apart and see.

If its solid it could be one of the three rollers of your starter clutch?

I don't think it is the starter clutch. I haven't disassembled the starter. It doesn't seem to be a case dowel either. Hopefully, it will be apparently as I get further into reassembly!

I think it may be. That would make sense why it is floating around.

If you had the gearbox out it could be one of 2 locating dowels for the needle bearing housing on the end of the main and counter shaft. or if you have removed the selector drum the pin/dowel for the selector fork.
