Pog done simple

[mick56]

A bloke i met who has a 1999 Nomad same as mine was unaware of the POG,when i told him he came up with the simplist way of fixing it,here are his words.

Just sorted my oil gear out, got the replacement complete with shaft, had the shaft machined off to leave an exact hole the size of the existing shaft, broke the plastic gear off - then heated up the new steel gear and slid it on and put 3 tack welds on it.

Costings wise, it was about £55 for the gear and a new RH gasket, then £75 to have it machined and took us 2.5 hrs to do. In my mind a better fix than Judges oil gear and a lot easier than splitting the crankcase or dropping the oil. The only testing bit was stopping the existing shaft from going back into the case a few mm, we got over that by using one of those little round magnets on a car ariel type thing - the magnet was the same diameter as the shaft, so the hot (expanded) new gear just slid down the "ariel" and popped straight onto the shaft.Pity they dont just sell the gear with a 12mm hole in the centre.




So there you go,all that complicated machining on the Judges oil gear seems pretty pointless,dont you think.
