Archived Can't fix KDP on 24 valve - case is not flat - is this the updated case?

[VicR]

I've got my 99 apart planning on tabbing the KDP, BUT the hole for the KDP is raised a good 1/4 inch above the flat surface where the neighboring bolt is. I can bend the tab and make it stepped, but not sure if that's the right answer. Or does this mean I have the updated case and don't need to worry?



I don't want to put it back together and guess wrong!



Thanks,

Vic,

If the bore for the dowel pin is "stepped" from small to large as you look at it then you have a new style gear case that does not need the tab. If the bore is not "stepped" then yes, bend the tab and install it.

Godspeed,
Trent
