Hi,<br /><br />My old 65 cb77 used a centrifugal oil filter, chain driven. I would simply take it apart (metal ring holds the cover plate) and clean the inside wall. Hope this helps.

What is the thickness of the thrust washer that goes between the filter and the case?<br />I will need to manufacture my own.

It is stainless and about .002. Be sure you put it on the shaft before the filter. ...........LM

DJBarcy:<br />Just curious how you are planning to make that. .002 (inch I assume) is about as thick as foil. Punch out the hole and tin snips for the outside diameter?<br /><br />Tom
