barfy Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Does anyone have a photo of exactly where the rubber cushions fit between the bashplate and bottom of the engine? I’ve tried to fit them like the best I can make out from the pictures in the manual, but whenever I put the bashplate on the small one seems to slip around. I normally pull it out so that I don’t lose it during a trial. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barfy Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks Guys that is most helpful.Glueing into position would keep them in place, but I can see from your pictures that they seem to there is quite firm contact from the bottom of the engine. I;ve printed the photos for next time I change the oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 yes, the rubber is compressed a bit when you tighten the bashplate screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Position looks ok but also looks like a std bash plate. A mitani or similar will not distort as much and hence not compress rubbers so much. I have in the past siliconed mine in place especially if you straighten out a used bash plate.
