Hello,
I got a 1995 spx I'm replacing the crank seals on. The rotary valve is between .010 and .012 thick. It won't fit the .012 feeler gauge in. I'm wondering why this barely is in spec. Because it seems like the gap would thicken if it was out of spec. I'm thinking of replacing the rotary valve bc it's rusty and I dropped it. I don't think I scratched it when I dropped it, but I think I'd be safe in replacing it. But I am wondering why the clearance is so tight. Is it bc of the rust.
Also how do y'all hold the crank in place to remove the PTO and the magneto? I've seen people use rags but I don't trust it. I'm about to use my drill press to make a holder and I was wonding if anyone has done that before, and if there's any threads of people making their own puller.
Here's some pics of the RV and the cover.
