Chain case gasket

[Todd Beenen]

She popped out of the groove, how long should I leave it in the ice box?

I have tried that a few times and has never worked. I keep a couple in stock now.

LooL. I just ordered a new one from country cat

Use a thick grease like Red and Tacky, and coat the gasket and the chaincase cover groove. That helps the gasket stick in the groove when reinstalling it.

Sevey, that’s another good idea, thanks

Tip I came up with today.... Use a .22 brush to remove the old loctite from the threads in the backside of the chain case. Mount it in your cordless drill and cleaning goes quick.

I didn’t know there was loctite on those fasteners to begin with, should I put a dab on them when I install them? I’ve had em off a couple times.

Yes. LocTite is installed from factory.

I have run a tap through mine to clean the threads, but that is a great idea as a few of the holes are tough to get at.

Compressed air, like the manual says, has always worked for me.
Would not want to compromise the magnesium by wire brushing or tapping too much.

You approach it like you are threading it into butter. Brake clean helps soften it up. But you do it real gentle.
