Hello everyone! Due to bad weather (yeah, snow once again and it's darn near April, gotta love South Dakota!) we aren't roofing anytime soon so back to work on the motor I go.
As I was cleaning all the crud from the left side by the drive chain, I noticed this metal dowel looking thing that was extremely loose and, well, just kinda pulled it out from the engine
What is this as I can see it in my Haynes manual but no mention of what it is (there probably is, I just have no idea what the heck it is!) . Possibly tachometer or oil pump? And is it supposed to be loose fitting with no clip to hold it in place?
As soon as I resize the rest of my photos, I'll upload all the parts that I've managed to clean up so far in preparation to put it all back together. Looks like a brand new motor (top-end) so far!
