| + | ===== Oil Pump Check Ball Seat Lapping Tool ====== | ||
| + | **Homemade check ball lapping tool**: \\ | ||
| + | The tool on the left is a homemade check ball lapping tool used to lap the seat where the check ball sits in the oil pump (57-76). ((Toolmaker of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/72481-i-m-sick-and-tired-of-wet-sumping?t=499487&highlight=check+ball+lapping+tool)) \\ | ||
| + | It's made with a tool steel shank and a 3/8" carbide ball tip on the end. \\ | ||
| + | The pocket for the ball to sit was cut with a 3/8" ball end mill then a few drops of Loctite 404 to keep it there. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Check ball seat burnishing tool**: \\ | ||
| + | The tool in the middle is a check-ball seat burnishing set. ((DaWind of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/109149-oil-pump-check-ball-seating/page2?t=1013445&page=2)) \\ | ||
| + | The idea is to turn the ball into the seat several times, thereby smoothing it to a very fine finish. \\ | ||
| + | It works quite well with these old check valve seats, but you can and do use quite a bit of force with the cast iron for a good result. \\ | ||
| + | The aluminum bodies on the Sportster pump would require a somewhat gentler application of the wrench. \\ | ||
| + | But the result would be a micron finish on the seat that will hold those slippery oil molecules. \\ | ||
| + | Problems with this procedure include factory machining of bore and seat rather badly out of alignment on a few pumps. \\ | ||
| + | And pitted or damaged seats that no amount of force will correct. \\ | ||
| + | You'd probably need a lathe, a tap set and the ability to braze or silver solder to make your own tool. \\ | ||
| + | Although you might drill out and tap an un-needed pump nipple for part of the tool. \\ | ||
| + | You can indicate the bolts in the chuck, face off the ends and then center drill them to provide a concentric pocket for the sphere to rest in. \\ | ||
| + | Then, hold the whole mess in tension between centers as you soldered. They surely have to be straight or they aren’t much use. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Check ball tester and oil pump prelube tool**: \\ | ||
| + | The tool on the right was made as a check ball tester and oil pump prelube tool. \\ | ||
| + | With this tool, all you have to do is use a grease gun (without grease) filled with oil and pump it into the system so a dry start can be avoided.
