Cam stopper plate

Recommended Posts

In my attempt to torque the screws that hold the cam stopper plate i noticed that one of the holes is starting to strip. What is the purpose of the Cam stopper plate and do I really need to install it? I honestly don't understand what its purpose is.

 

Thanks

Well I messed up. There is such a thing as s a cam stopper plate and that is by the shift star.

 

What I am looking at is the plate that is above the bearing stop plate that is behind the clutch basket. There are two small screw holes in the case and I have one that is stripping. I have no idea what the purpose of this plate is and I am just curious if this part is essential.

I think I know what you mean. I think the two holes you are talking about is the one in each case that holds the cases together with a little strap like deal. I would worry about it. My 421 and 10mil never had that piece in there. Do you have a pic? It may be the oiler deal there too... get a pic of what hole you are talking about that is stripped out.

Thanks for the feedback. The plate that bolts from the top case to the lower case is called the Bearing Stop Plate. There is a thin plate above it that is part of the upper case only. The hole that is starting to strip is for this plate. It may be there for oil reasons but am not sure. I personally see no benefit of this plate but am just checking. If further clarificaiton is needed I will try to get some pics. Computer is slow so it will take a while.

 

Thanks
