A 'bargain' at £37 (at time of posting)...



Or you can buy the same thing here for £10 - from the guy who makes them... That is some 'middle man' markup!!!

Thats a new one on me, is the oil in the box not supposed to lubricate the bores and small end by splashing it all over.

I wouldn't buy or sell anything with this guy either, he won a gearbox from me I contacted him for a month constantly with no success, I then had to relist, he's a timewaster.
Then he gives me bad feedback!!

Would that stop the oil sloshing to one side when cornering? so help keeping the pickup pipe in oil or something? whats the real reason for it what would it achieve?

its to stop the oil that the box throws up before it hits the crank.

Near Daventry, midlands

the crank, spinning at 15-110 times a second, produces a mist in the crankcase which more than provides enough oil to lube the bores and the little ends.

the splash guards are merely there to stop the oil thrown up by the gears which are constantly meshed running at near engine speeds!

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

lol, well spotted, any way IMO a splash guard iwll stop oil getting to the cam shaft and that's bad news.

mine too, but many do not. I still dont think its a major problem as you will get oil down from the followers and such. The inline engines do not have this oil splash from the box anyway.

TBH i think the cam gets enough oil thrown on it from the crank, especially in our lowish rpm application, for somone like Fastcarl then something extra may well be needed.

IMO I don't like the idea of unfiltered oil being thrown onto the cam, and i have heard it said inline cam's and followers live longer and tend not to exhibit the "pitting" often seen on the transverse cams, fair enough this probably has more than a little to do with oil change frequency if it is true.
