Having the compensator nut loose enough for the rotor to move like that is madness!, Your lucky if your inner case bearing didn't walk and stuff your case inside.
If you go to replace a sprocket seal on a Shovel, it will appear to be put in backwards, that's because it wasn't designed so much to keep oil in the crankcase, as it was to maintain positive pressure in the primary case to push the primary chain drip oil back through the oil filter and into the oil tank. If you run an open primary or steel inners and outers with a belt drive, a little drip from the sprocket seal isn't unusual. There was a double lip seal available for that application. Pans and Knucks primary oil drip system ran out of the primary covers and made a puddle when you parked it, and Harleys became famous for marking their spot!
Not sure if this "tip" serves a purpose or not (all my chopular friends tell me it's beneficial) but - If you fill your oil filter with fresh oil before you screw it on, it will not starve motor components of oil whilst filling the filter. Happy choppin', brotha'! Ya getting some training down in Virginia (SLC, ALC?) lol.
thank u for the video i have 80s evo sucking all my primary fluid into my oil crankcase so I'm glad i could see how u did it always helps thank u hopefully i figure out this problem really getting tired of pulling the primary off
Usually the oil from the crankcase go's into the primary is there is a leaky spot. The oil in the primary would be way too low to be able to be sucked into the crank case anyway.
Good video . A little heads up , never use racing oil in a street engine unless you plan on changing it every 500 miles .Racing oil has only enough additive for a couple of races , then they change it between races , by then the additives are depleted .
Hey man, follow up question. Did you replace the crank shaft seal or main seal? I'm wondering if simply tightening everything up stopped your leak, or if you replaced the seal. Thanks!!
@@joesurfer9754 sometimes the last idiot installed the seal in backwards (here) with the 'flat side' of the seal facing inwards... should be Flat Side out on a open belt drive

that bit on the reg wire screwing into the cases was the tip I needed... find things in the strangest places

So should the aeal be in backwards or does it matter.

check your check ball in the oil pump you could be wet sumping

Did mama put you in time out for the mess? Thanks for sharing.
Good info here, lots of people get confused about wieners...😂😂😂👍😉
Nice video man! Just wanted to know where you got that oil filter setup?

A lot of the shovelheads from the 1980's leak between the case and the bearing and there is not much you can do to stop it.

RUclips isn't half bad except for the fact that when you asked to work on a 77 Shovelhead they want to work on a 2009 Dino
You shovels use mineral oils , not the stuff your putting in it
So basically the whole problem was caused by using the Evo rotor cover on a Shovel...duh.
thanks
I think your dog ate your stash man.
