Crush washers

ldhthept · 08-02-2021, 06:01 PM

Anyone had to replace theirs on the oil supply hoses to each cylinder? Trying to track down an oil leak on the back of the rear cylinder. I have tightened these hoses before but never replaced the 3 (2 thin and 1 thicker) crush washers. I am replacing the gasket on the cam chain tensioner and found one of the mounting bolts for it was not as tight as it should be.

Good luck trying to find them on the parts list.

under oil pump 11009 11060 . but I would look real close for it to be coming from the spark plug tube weep holes or tensioner gaskets

Crush washers, unless they are made to a specific shape, are standard items available at any motorcycle or auto supply store, and many hydraulic supply stores. Just search for metric crush washers in the same ID and OD, and most are copper or aluminum.

Spark plug tube weep holes? Don’t see much evidence on the fins of it coming from the spark plug tubes. Its an 06 Nomad and I have never had the spark plug tubes out, hence never replaced the O rings on them. Should I?

A common cause of oil leak in that area, is the camshaft cap on rear cylinder. Part 92066. Rather than take the engine out to replace the seals. Part 92055. Clean around the outside with a thin sharp object, then poke some sealer into the groove. It fixed mine, and many others.

If you have trouble getting the bolts on the cam tensioners tight buy a set of ball ended metric Allen keys then you can get at the bolts on an angle to get them tight.

Those are the part numbers to the spark plug tube and O rings Mick. The tubes I have not removed yet, waiting on getting in a tool. Does anyone know if the OEM tool kit includes? Seem to remember a tool in there for the front axle removal that had different sized ends. Able to use the head of a bolt to remove? No idea how much force needed to remove that tube. I am also planning to remove the smog stuff and replacing with the coaster plates. It’s been marbled off for years but trying to get some better air flow around engine, hot in Florida.

!!!!!.I used a bolt with 2 nuts locked together on the other end. The head of the bolt needed grinding flat, as the tubes have a raised centre, so not much room to get into. They were pretty tight to get out..[/QUOTE]

I beg your pardon :) 92066A
