Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Engine Removal

Post by Jeff Gordon »

Just curious if anyone has done a motor swap? I have followed the manual but am a little confused if I need to remove the swing arm as well, or will the shaft come with the engine when I start pulling it out? Any help would appreciated!

No Jeff, just undo the band clamp of the rubber boot from the front bevel gear housing and expose the end of the drive shaft. Rotate the shaft until you see a small hole into the drive shaft side. There is where you push in with a small punch/finish nail to release the dowel pin that holds the drive shaft onto the bevel gear. While pressing on the dowel pin, work the shaft off of the gear BUT BE WARNED: that dowel pin will spring out of position and go flying into some recess of obscurity if you are not aware that it is going to do that.
At reassembly time simply press the dowel in against it's spring and slide the drive shaft onto the gear over the pin. The dowel pin locks the shaft in place so check and MAKE SURE the dowel is actually doing it's intended job before moving the rubber boot back into position.
See page 8; Section 10 of the Service Manual for the pin illustration.
