oil leak primary chain case

Post by nicknick109 »

I have a Charnwoods RE diesel and the bike has developed a leak between the primary chain case and the Hatz engine.Also had a leak from the outer primary chaincase which I stopped using Hermatite Red spread on some cloth and wiped along the joint. To reach the leak will have to strip chaincase off
There is a paper gasket between chaincase and engine. Am using ATF oil.
Can anybody offer a solution as to what sealant to use please ?
Diesel Dave can you offer some help as usual ??
Thanks any help offered.

Really you just need some RTV spread over the joint faces after stripping and cleaning.

If you could pop over Dartford crossing to my place we can put it on the lift bench and it would be done in around an hour (depending on tea and biscuit consumption). You do need a puller for the clutch and possible a holding tool for the inner; I have both here.

My place is just off the M25 junction 29, send me a private message though the forum if you want my full address.

Cheers

Roughly where do you live, Dave? I grew up in Upminster, near J29 - my elderly parents still live there and I'm up and down from time to time.

I’m in Hutton near Brentwood.

Funnily enough my mum lives in Macclesfield so I travel the same motorways just the opposite way around.

Send me a PM next time your around and pop in for a cuppa.
