Crankcase evacuation

[huunz]

I've been messing with my 650 Sand Spider for a couple of years now, and have gotten a lot more power out of it. I added a Fast Freddie Weber 45 DCOE kit, modified the header, tried a remote filter setup (didn't work), put long travel Fox Airshox on it, lightened the frame, jusat generally did a lot of old time hotrod tricks.

One trick i did was a crankcase evacuation setup. I'm out at Dumont now, and it sucks all the oil out of the engine through the exhaust pipe - it works too good! Now I need a new valve cover for a 650 Sand Spider (2 cylinder). Anyone?

One trick that did work - I port matched the entire intake. I put rags in the head to keep the debris from falling in, and gently ground out the bores until it was all smooth and clean. Big change! The intake ports were very "dirty", with a lot of random casting slag in the port itself.

Anyway, looking for a valve cover.....

Not sure if JMC motors has viper parts, but I've gotten a couple stock parts for my T2 from them and been really happy with their service. If your not having any luck picking one up, I'd try giving them a call.

JMC? Contact info?

To add insult to injury, it wouldn't start this morning, we had to tow it with the RZR to the back o the trailer and winch it in, then when i got home, I had to jack it up and push it into the garage for troubleshooting.....

When you say the evac pump worked to well, the engine didn't run dry did it?

No, it sucked the oil out into the header, where it burned/smoked, and made it look like an old 2 stroke. I stopped testing before I lost oil pressure, although I burned out about a quart over the weekend. I'd let it go down a half quart, then refill.

If I hadn't stopped, it would have probably sucked it all out. It also didn't let the oil in the upper end fall into the pan, so I lost oil pressure on and off after hard runs.

On the plus side, the new suspension is awesome, evening out the whoops and soaking up bumps, so the ride is very safe feeling. I was ripping the dunes pretty well. The mess on the lens is oil that spewed out and I didn't catch until I watched the videos.

Just checked JMC, they show everything in stock, but I'll call first....

I need to find out if my distributor went south, or if it is something else. If so, i don't want to pay shipping twice.

Thanks for the lead!

The coil was bad. Had a spare on the shelf, easy fix. Ordered the valve cover from JMC...

Glad to help, like I said, they've treated me real good. Hopefully they do the same for you. Good luck getting it up and going.

Nice vid, looks like a good time

Bummer, they e-mailed me and said they didn't have it. Back to square one.
