this is what is shown in my book , only 3 bolts holding the thrust plate on ( you have one that is not an original bolt . on both the 318 and 360 i have rebuilt one of the bolts has a hole through it to allow oil to run through it and drop onto the oil tab.
now get off the beach you lazy (read lucky) surfer dude and get it back together

What oil slinger???

Hooray, thanks to all .Kev, I fitted it as you suggested, with only 3 bolts and one for the oil. The pic I posted was wrong, i just wanted you guys to confirm. Problem was, that the 318 which i dismantleed was my guide and the Ch**y mechanic had fitted it wrong.
Matt thanks for the info on front crank oil seal, i'll take due note.
The beach was lovely, the surf is due at the end of the week and I WILL post picsof completed motor. First one of these ive done. I seem to spend every other minute fixing my mates Vespa (cos i know abit about those)
Gratious surf pic enclosed

No bolts with holes! Surely oil pours thru the one hole that has no bolt owhere the tab onthe oil thrower thingy locates?

Kev, 'what oil slinger?'

Dont you use one then?

Kev · Post by **Kev** » Mon Jun 13, 05 8:37 pm

This thread is about camshaft thrust plate. it should be installed with all four bolts. The one in the top left has a hole in it. This lets oil into the camchain area this drips on the chain and oil slinger (the disc infront of the camchain) this "slings" the oil around the camchain area.

the bolt at the top , to the left as you look at the engine , should have a 1/8ish ( 3.2mm) hole through it . this allows oil to run onto the little oil tab and so lubricate the chain . Kev you probably gain 0.0000005hp by running the chain dry

that must be your secret to added power

Thanks men, its getting clearer. it may be pedantic/or stupid but in the diagram of the cam thrust plate it appears as if the little tab on the oil thrower locates into the bottomright hole (of the thrust plate). Thats whats been confusing me throughout (and still is)
I'll get the top left bolt drilled to allow oil thru

I know that this treble pedantic n'all, but Kev (& Terry ) say fit thrust plate with all 4 bolts. How come Trevs diagram (i have the same) shows 3 bolts with the oil tab thingy looking as if it locates in the 4th (bottom right) hole?
