Daverse 175 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi guys, just changing my big end caps, and on cap number 7, the far right one, holding the very end of the cam shaft down. There is a big deep gash cut into the cap about 3mm deep. It looks like such a clean cut it could have been machined out, but none of the others have? See the pic for further info, any ideas? meant to be there or has dirt got in there previously? cheers, dave Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Was there any corresponding marks on the camshaft? this would tell you if anything had got in there at some point, but I'd think not as it would be all the way across at that depth........maybe an oil way or something, but Tony, Bundy, Paul and Ben will be along soon to throw some light on the matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daverse 175 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 thanks for the reply don, thise where my thoughts, although if it was an oil way it would be all the way across as well? there arent any markings on the shaft, looks fine.. very strange!
