li'l crack in the oil filter cover
03/29/21 at 15:20:03

I was doing an oil change this weekend (23K) and found this small crack around the lower bolt hole of the oil filter cover. It seems fine as I don't see the crack on the inside and these motors are low pressure anyway. So I guess this is more of a fascinoma than a question. Bike hasn't been dropped and I'm always very careful when putting the filter, spring etc. back in b/c of the stories I read of some folks breaking the oil filter cover.
Anyone else reusing both rubber O-rings for a reeeeeally long time? Mine have held up great! They sure last a heckuva lot longer than our brake pads Undecided

I can see the bottom of the defect. I don't think its a crack. It looks like something sharp scraped/gouged the cover.
