Title: How deep in end yoke?
Post by: East County Kona on March 20, 2015, 05:11:48 PM

Looks like my splines were a little mushroomed, after some careful file work I can tap the yoke on just over 1.5". Should this be sufficient or do I need to make the yoke slide on all the way and freely?

Thank you,
Tim

Well first , how did they get mushroomed?? And no in my opinion that it not enough. 2 min . Is a good rule of thumb.

Not sure how it got mushroomed, I bought I used. It wasn't too bad just needed a little touch up to get it started but stops at 1.5". The splines and end yoke are only 2" max before hitting the thrust bearing.

Mine is about 1/4" from bottoming out. It's just enough to clear the crank for when I run it on the trailer

Needs to not bind anywhere by hand or the pump will push on the crankshaft thrust bearing and destroy the engine.  Approximately 3/16" clearance should be between the yoke and the snap ring in front of the bearing.

Perfect, thank you gentlemen. Looks like I've got some more to file.

Cheers!
