Hi Guys,
Hope some can help me, my HRD chop is suffering from an oil leak, that appears to be coming from the crankshaft oil seal, is a problem for because my bike runs an open belt primary and clutch, so the oil drips onto the belt and flies all over place.
The lip seal is a direct fit into the crank case (no adaptor ring) and runs on a well made spacer (concentric and the correct size) I can stop or at least slow the leak down by running with an Elephant trunk style breather, but I am still concerned that this solution is only borderline and will fail after a long run at higher speeds.
My oil pump is a new double lead pump from Vinparts which seems to work well.
The return oil goes straight back to the oil tank and the rockers are feed from the pressure side of the pump, tapped of PO39/PO40 via a restrictor jet. So I don’t think that the oil level is getting to high in crank cases. If its possible to do so?
Any thoughts!!!
Picture shows the rocker oil feed
Cheers
