Re: Gear case lapping question

[raglover]

Thank you for replies. Got it soaking now to get all the 847 off. Will go back and check flatness tomorrow. It is leaking in 3 places, again only after going up to 10 plus psi but definitely from between the halves. About the third screw from rear on both sides. Then one from the front on one side of rear. Checking under water with Stevens tester. Looking for bubbles.

As far as I know halves are mates but anything is possible.

Definitely in the camp that my "lapping" process messed it up from normal. Lesson learned. Going to try it one more time, it a no go then I will put on a donor with no special surface treatment. Will update all this weekend on results.

Thank you for help,

Allen
