Snaggletooth Posted May 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2009 I got to ask. I just finished up installing an upgrade stator. I remembered all the chatter about the crush washer on the 6 o'clock bolt on the stator cover. When I started to open the old girl up I had drained the oil and decided to pull both the 6 o'clock bolts on the stator cover and the secondary cover. Loosened them up and got nothing. Not a drop of oil. When I pulled the bolts there were no crush washers on either one of them. The only bolt that had a crush on it was the 8 o'clock bolt on the secondary cover. Weird place for it I thought. None the less no leaks ever on this bike. Not a drop. Now I'm getting ready to close her back up and I'm wondering if I should put washers on the two lower bolts to be safe. Are these actually supposed to be a reserve drain as I didn't see any kind of path for it when I opened it up. Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted May 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2009 The only copper washer on that side of the engine is in the 6:00 position on the middle gear cover. The stator cover does not have any holes that drain, therefore no copper washers. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
