Is it possible that the front o-ring on my '02 Softail was missing from the factory? I just removed the 88 jugs and replaced them with 95's. I did the usual crank case packing under the piston with clean shop rags as I pulled the jug. As far as I can tell, there's no sign that the o-ring was ever there. Have physically accounted for every other one. Its never leaked.
In the event the o-ring did make it into the crankcase, is it really something to worry about? I can't imagine so seeing how the motors seem to deal with the chain tensioner material pretty well.
Can the crankcase be drained from the bottom, ie pipe plug in the case bottom? Just curious, but this missing o-ring has me wondering. I like to account for all parts removed and all parts installed...
:huh: DLR
