I'm in the process of doing some recon in my engine. This is about as far as I'm going as I'm getting the sump painted.
Anyway I removed the output shaft and saw something's that caught my eye.
First off I'd scaring on the main bearing outside. Mind you the bearing turns freely and there is no play whatsoever. But take a look at this:
And
Also there seems to be some sort of very brittle material on the outside of the circlip and it breaks almost immediately. Almost like spaghetti.
What the heck is this material? It's only present on the outside of the circlip. Or the scarring only present in one spot?
should I replace the bearing? Should I replace the circlip? Mind you everything else in the engine looks just fine[emoji4]
Thanks morobrick wizards...
