357 clutch/drum advice please!

[wicklamulla]

Seen this before, I reckon the oiler pinion is incorrect. The 357 one has a flange on it on the internal bore that locates on a shoulder on the crank. This feature stops it contacting the crank seal unlike the 346 that has no flange but has a washer.

 

It is common for this flange to wear and this takes out the seal.

 

Make sure the pinion is the correct part as I reckon you have a 346 one!

 

'whale oil beef hooked', Spud may well be right there as i assumed the 346 and 357 oilers were identical !

Could there be a washer missing ?

 

So there could be a washer missing if it was fitted to the 346

Spud is right I think! As usual!

 

It looks like the worm gear is 5038921 which isn't for a 357 by the looks of it.

 

Doh! Stupid me!

If I send my 357 back could you fit a washer to it? Im worried it's not running right now...

Yes, it is expensive though.....£200 I believe:sneaky2:

I'll take 3...

 

Once I have some spare cash I'll get the357 retuned. It's truly bedded in but sometimes stalls on idle

If it is just a retune, it will be the cost of a crate of beer and the courier back.......can't be fairer than that:thumbup:
