Hello
I would like to ask some help about where to put the oil jets on the bottom crankcase.
Thanks in advance
Ok
I founded out for myself. On the bottom crankcase there are two brass oil jets, below the balance shaft bearings, and one on the left side below the primary gearbox shaft bearing, so it makes three. On the top crankcase there are only two, on each side of the cylinder block. I guess the purpose is balancing oil flow coming from the pump and rising on these different paths, due to different lubrication & cooling requirements.
Thankx guys!
OMG, that's a new one.
On a savage the upper end's oil passage runs through a slot in the gasket of the right side crankcase cover. If someone goobered together a hand made gasket out of gasket paper (like I have on ocassion) that slot needs to be cut, else you'd starve the upper end of oil flow.
Wont matter too much, it will leak oil like a mofo, and you'd realize it before too much damage occours, because upper enf is roller bearing and the cam/rocker contact happens through a "oil puddle" system.
Cool.
Buddha.
Hello again
What I meant was where to put these little brass pieces - very much alike carburator jets - on the GS500E engine crankcases. They are meant to balance correctly the oil flow coming up from the pump. Because there are 10 holes and only 5 oil jets, so...that was it.
Ride safely
