Oil thrower?

[mattyguk1]

Hi all, having recently changed to a duplex timing chain do I need to replace the pictures dished oil thrower for the flat type part number 12A1148? Thanks in advance...

You will need to change the oil thrower to Pt No: 12A1148. It is marked 'F' which faces forward.

What timing chain cover have you fitted and does it have the later type neoprene lip seal?

Does it have a breather/oil separator canister fitted?

The neoprene lip seal can be fitted from the outside of the timing chain cover or from inside - either way is correct.

Thanks Phil I’ll get one ordered, I’ve got the neoprene seal fitted from outside of cover. I have what I presume is an oil breather/ separator canister coming from the tappet cover, is this correct ?

[philthehill]

If you have the breather/oil separator on the front tappet chest cover I suspect that you have a 1098cc engine fitted.

The breather/oil separator is standard on the 1098cc engine.

Correct Phil, it's a 1970 1098
