+ | ====== Gaskets / Seals ====== | ||
+ | ===== Cover Gasket ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 91 and up Sportster engines have an internal rifling hole drilled into the lower left side of the case running past the left side of the oil pump. \\ | ||
+ | That extra hole (in the picture below) is benign and doesn't need a hole in the gasket to match. \\ | ||
+ | That hole is purely an artifact of how they connected two passages for routing crankcase oil up to the oil pump's scavenge section. \\ | ||
+ | They drill that hole to connect the two passages, and then it gets blocked off naturally by the cam box cover and gasket. ((aswracing of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2036109&highlight=oil+pump&page=3)) \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Also, in 2000, the factory changed the oil routing to the lifters to make manufacturing the cases easier. \\ | ||
+ | The newer cam cover on the left in the pic below and has two extra grooves along the top. \\ | ||
+ | These grooves let oil get to the lifters. \\ | ||
+ | If you have an older style gasket, it will not have cutouts for the grooves and you won't get oil to the lifters. \\ | ||
