Opening The Primary Side Of My Triumph T140V | Desert Sled Scrambler Project | Primary Strip | 11

Opening The Primary Side Of My Triumph T140V | Desert Sled Scrambler Project | Primary Strip | 11 In this episode I remove the primary cover of my 1975 Triumph Bonneville T140V. I mainly want to make sure that the sludge trap is clean, but I am going to check every thing on the way to getting to it, starting by stripping the primary side of the engine. #ad Here's what we used in this video (affiliate links).

One of the things that I worry about most with the engine of a T140V Triumph Bonneville is that the sludge trap might be blocked, or at least part full of the debris that has been filtered out of the oil Although the engine has had some work done, with quite a bit of evidence on the top end, I have no idea if the bottom end has had any work done on it. The sludge trap is really a maintenance item that should be cleaned any time the engine has any work done on it. But because you have to completely strip the entire engine down to the crank to get to it. Although it is fairly simple to remove the primary chain case cover, there are a number of things to take into account. Especially the different fasteners that are used. They fasten into threaded holes in the aluminium crankcase, which can easily be stripped, or more likely have been stripped by some gorrila of a mechanic in the past. There is also an oil seal around the gear change cross over shaft that needs to be taken into account. When replacing the cover it is likely that the seal will need to be replaced.
