The replacement tail above is nearly 1/10" larger and the internal ports were enlarged as well. The tail pipe is a bit longer as well.
Hey all
Got a thought that lead to a question. Hobbsy posted a shot of a page in a magazine that made an interesting statement concerning crankcase lubrication.
Indicated the front bearing sheilded both sides and the rear shielded on the back( crankpin side).
I have done lots if used e bay motorbearings on Saitos. I have not done any motor I bought new yet. In motors purchased new, what do you guys find concerning shielding in motors factory assembled.
And secondly, the article indicated the crankcase vented between the bearings via the nipple (factory) between the bearings in the bottom of the case.
Wonder if the motors that vent through the rear cover may be shielded different?
What have you noted Saitoheads?
