Oil Change mishap - Unscrewed the wrong bolt
So I just got my Boom Vader and I went to change the oil and inadvertently removed the wrong bolt that was right next to the oil plug bolt.
This really long spring and a cylinder with some horizontal holes dropped out. There was not much oil coming out either. I pushed the cylinder back in and awkwardly pushed the long coiled spring back up there. What the heck did I disassemble and was there supposed to be a special way to re-install the cylinder and the spring? Hoping I didn't mess up the engine or transmission. thanks Last edited by prismways; 04-12-2017 at 11:06 PM. |

So I did some research and there is a discussion on another board that discussed this:
http://atvconnection.com/forums/3-ge...rain-plug.html I guess I had removed the bolt for the cam chain tensioner. I hope I didn't mess it up when putting it back in. I found pics for the items: And here is a really good video explaining the whole assembly. |

Did you put it back in correctly?
