My Rapide breather has an alloy sleeve in the pinion. If I wanted to change the timing less than 15 deg (one tooth), what is the best way to press out the sleeve - freeze it first?
Yes, I think so as the alloy will contract much more than the pinion.... go for dry ice if the home freezer doesn't do it. Good luck.... but truthfully I would use one of those add-on breathers over the mag plate on the timing cover.
I believe my hydraulic damper would hit such a non-concours item. What I may really do is get the parts for the two disc friction damper and use my Ducati breather in that position.
If you think about it we are speaking of a crankcase breather...... why make it such a torturous route in the first place when one can achieve much more efficient and direct flow with the simple six screw add on AT the crankcase?
