Title: Replacing oil sight window?
Post by Moto Duck on 10/16/14 at 15:42:24

We need to have our engine side covers powdercoated as part of a custom job I'm doing on my girlfriends Savage. Can anybody tell me what I need to do to remove and then reinstall the oil sight window? It looks like it has a rubber seal on the outside and some sort of adhesive sealant on the inside. Thanks!

Mine came loose at one point and I popped it out gooped it back up and stuck it in. Nothing but the rtv holds it in.

When I took my case off to polish it, I found the white sealer that was applied at the factory was loose and I just pulled it off. I cleaned the area well and put JB Weld around the edges.

I have never tried to push the glass out however........

Just had my controls powder coated and the guy had to take out the sight glass on the master cylinder. I ended up buying a watch crystal that was the same diameter as the old one and used some clear epoxy... Haven't put brake fluid in it yet but hopefully it holds.
