My PVL ignition arrived last week and I'm about to intall it. I ordered the crank seal as well so it will run 'dry'. The seal mechanism appears to be an aluminium plate about 3" in diameter with an oil seal in it's centre. It looks as though the plate presses onto the crank bearing housing but I can't see what holds it in place nor how it can seal the area. Anyone had experience with these seals?
could hardly weld it on eh ,drill & tap, small threaded inserts to screw it on to the cases around the main bearing housing if theres enough alloy?,you will have to seal the bottom drain hole too!
All fixed thanks. I got hold of Buff - he had not sent any instal instructions but has now emailed me the info. It just requires a couple of small holes tapped into the C/case. Any suggestions for some 'goo' to block off that bottom drain hole?
