Governor link arm - rattle fit

Post by Tjibbe »

The link arm running thru the block is very loose fitting. At either end is a sizable opening. While cleaning the engine with a high pressure washer, I was wondering - does the arm run inside a sleeve, or can water and soap get into the sump via the holes ?

Can't help you out with this one Tjibbe, and the boss is on holiday.
Kind regards, Henk

Hello Tjibbe,

No water will get into the engine, otherwise oil or cooling water would have came out of the block
