It's another one of those questions, Halite washer - what exactly is it's job ??? Just curious.
Thanks in advance of any info.

to help keep the gear oil out of your pertol/2 stroke oil mix

the drive side oil seal is mounted on a plate (alloy, or preferably metal), which is screwed onto the crankcase with 4 small bolts.

The Hallite washer takes up (in theory), any imperfections between the oil seal plate and the crankcase itself, thus stopping your gear oil from flowing into the piston/ crank area

the last build i did and the current one im doing ive used a 6305 with plastic seals in,obviously you need the flick out the one against the crank side and ive left out the hallite washer

As I'm a bit of a "belt and braces" bloke ( no it ain't a weird fetish), I'd certainly use that type of bearing but would leave the Hallite washer in as well.

Don't you mean you'd flick out the DRIVE side plastic??

Chris

yes sorry.......i find that i cant get the hallite washer in as well as the plastic seal.....i guess its one or the other

Thanks for the replies, any preference on how to lock the seal plate screws, dot punch or locktite ? I've got some of MBD's high tensile allen head screws to hold it in.

a very small drop of a suitable Loctite product on clean threads.

Don't overdo it as you may need to remove them in the future!!

I use the sealed bearings and always keep the halite washer, never had any probs doing this
