  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hi, anyone have the dimensions for the spacer/washer on the right side of the 500cc crank?
Would really help me out, thanks! :)
 
no answers?
if no one answers by Friday send me a message and when I get home I will look
 
From what I read on here the proper way to assemble the engine is to put that timing side bearing in all the way to the seal retainer piece and pull the crank with that spacer, which I am pretty sure has a champher towards the crank, tight to that side. Put the double bearing flush against the steel plate and get the crank to kind of float free axially. This is supposed to get your crank centered.

I invented my own technique before things like internet discussion groups and pull the crank tight to the drive side, the timing side bearing tight to the spacer and crank and the timing side bearing in the case bore exactly where I want it. As best as I can/could tell this centered the crank. The spacer isn't so thick as to make both bearings located hard against the far walls so to speak and everything snug axially at least in my experience.
 
is this washer also fitted to the wr430 air cooled engine, when i pulled mine i did not see a washer between the crank cheek and ignition side bearing.

Click to expand...

the biggest difference between the air cooled and water cooled is the pump provision on the crank stub most other parts are interchangeable except obviously the top end
 
found it, rang the machine shop to confirm yes its there was left to one side when they split the crank.
