Title: Chromed Round Cover on Right Side of Motor
Post by: doublej on July 01, 2013, 10:54:18 AM

Does anyone know what it is for and what is behind it.  Reason being I am seeing flaking chrome  on it and thought of replacing.  anything I need to be aware of when I remove the three 8mm machine screws.  thanks

It hides the crankshaft nut that you can use to manually turn the engine to set timing and valve clearance. A little oil may weep out when you are opening that cover, but don't be alarmed.
