Quick question - how many plugs on fluid flywheel?

[markbg]

I could only find one using the starting handle but I couldnt pull round the whole thing even with a screwdriver without skimming off a load of paint - Im thinking one as why would they need 2?

 

cheers

I'm Not sure, but maybe 2. For balance?

I was D + M B1 on CVR -W was it 35 years ago, and there are (faint) bells ringing in my head.

Two plugs at 180 degrees to each other. If you think that a plug might have been fouling then it should show witness marks, same with the tin cover on the flywheel.

thanks guys - one of them is absolutely knackered - no corners left so looks like the culprit to me

I seem to remember someone saying that you had to get the correct washers (original) as the fit in a recess??? or was that on the Ferret? anyway as suggested give RB a ring & see if he has the correct washers for it (& a new plug)

You need LV3JG/5365-99-815-6966 (plug)

and LV9CVW/2520-99-829-5393 (washer)

Tip: You can use the original washers again If you heat to cherry red & quench imediately in cold water. This will soften them & allow 'crushing up' when tightening to seal correctly.

All of them have dowty seals on them but the leaking is still occurring so just called RB and am getting the original copper ones - the dowty seals seem ok when the flywheel isnt moving but dont seal when its turning - albeit I think half an inch washers are a tighter fit than 5/8 by the looks of it

 

anyway Ill get the original copper ones - as they are not used before I assume I dont need to heat them up to cherry red?

Nope you do not heat them before use, that is just on old hard washers..
