I don't recall any spacers in mine

Are you talking about the bearings?

Also, should I use any gasket sealer on any or all of the gaskets when I put in the new piston?
Thanks

What do you think about a part in the video posted on the last page? The guy puts some sealer between the gaskets and such, is that necessary?

Skimaniac,
There are two spacers either side of the wrist oin bearing as shown here, for some reason they are not numbered or identified but you need them to take up the lash on the little end

Scott,
You must mastic the two crankcase halves, as to the rest it is a matter of personal preference. I used a little on the lower cylinder gasket and on the carburetor gaskets. You should not use any on the head gasket.

Son of a gun! I didn't have them on my piston, where can I find them or can I use washers instead? I thought I was so close to putting this thing back together.
Thanks,
Scott

What number are we talking about on that pic?

There not numbered if you look left & right of number 4 bearing these are the washers. You may look for a wrist pin kit that would have the washers supplied with it.

racin they were not on either of the two 3pgs we tore apart to make one.

racin161 · 07-27-2011, 08:59 AM

Sorry mine is a 2pg and they are there maybe 3pg don't use them but I would be sure to find out.

Are those not the magnetic bearing seals that are in the video? I have my old ones, and I am not 100% sure, but I think there were new ones in my rebuild kit. They are not just regular washers.

racin, i just checked and the 3pg doesn't use them. maybe because it is upright?
