question about engine
01/28/11 at 13:48:17
 
I have what probably sounds like a stupid question. I am going to remove the clutch cover and the generator covers so that I may send off for powder coating. I have two gaskets on order. Is there anything (tips, tricks) to taking care of this job? I assume I drain oil, remove the covers and get them powder coated. I was just wondering if there is anything else that needs to be replaced after taking these covers off, or if there are any other gaskets down inside there that need to be replaced.
Thanks.

Mask off all the mating surfaces and the inside of the covers. That would include the oil filter cavity, the back of the oil filter cover and the oil level window. There are oil passages inside the covers you don't want clogged with either blasting media or powder coating. Don't leave the round inspection cover in or you'll never get it out. In fact, you might consider leaving it uncoated since the powder coating will make the slot narrower, and when you try to tighten or loosen it, you'll chip the powder coating.

Also, while your covers are being done, get yourself some washers for the cover bolts. Even though the bolts have flanged heads, they will gouge up the powder coating when you tighten them.

Oh, and if your powder coating guy is good, he'll put tiny plugs in all your bolt holes so you won't need to open them back up.

remember that certain machine screws, bolts thread into nuts, machine screws thread into a part, on the side cover have rubberized washers under them and renew them for a leak free job w/anew gasket. I usually order a package of 10 or 2 packs at a time so I always have some on hand for the side and cam cover. Hate to wait a week for a simple part like that.  Max

Just go to the dealership, unless youve got a real easy to deal with online source.
They arent cheal, seems theres only 3 needed on the clutch side, IDK about the other, but theyll run again, anyway.
