Help ID Parts

Postby Mayday53 » Wed Oct 21, 2015 11:00 pm

As we are putting back together my 55 KHK, we foud two parts in the box which we cannot find in the parts manual after hours of searching. Can anyone help me ID them?

I don't think that is correct as it is too short and thin metal, I also have other cover springs which do not match this.

Here are my guesses:
1. SPRING: Part 25287-37 (Breather Oil Separator seal ring spring)
2. WASHER: Part 48370-52 (steering head bearing dust shield)

Thoughts?

It's hard to tell the size of the parts,but could they be oil filter related?

Heartily agree about no size reference. At first I thought the spring was wet clutch spring that got tossed in the box by mistake. I find it is good to take hundreds of pictures, as well as segregating parts with baggies and different boxes. It was great that the OP did have a box, so that he can tell he has these extra.

I agree the spring could be the one inside the gearcase breather, that pushes against the generator oil spinner. It might also be from a pushrod cover. Like was said-- put something in the pic for reference, a scale or ruler or coin. Or a pushrod cover.

The washer looks like the counter-shaft first gear washer.

You can see my trick of using 1/4-inch graph paper to indicate the size of parts.

Has the OP checked endplay? Depending on the size, there is also a resemblance to the dry clutch basket thrust washer or backing washer, but I suspect the OP has not torn apart the clutch basket.

Yes, the clutch is torn all apart and it is being installed. I will check on the areas you fellas mentioned. If not correct I will re-post a picture with reference.
