Hi all
After giving it quite a bit of thought, I decided last week to spring for a belt drive kit from RGM and put the whole issue of primary oil leaks in the rear view mirror. It came yesterday and one thing that I'm not sure that fully get is that the kits include new stator studs that are 5/16" when my my old ones are 1/4". The stator does fit over them but leaves very little room for adjustment to the rotor if needed. I asked Roger about this and he said mentioned how one might get a small amount of adjustment. The part that I don't get is that he also stated that, stock, the stator is held in on it's OD and when moved out as part of the belt kit it is held in by the new 5/16" studs going through the holes in the stator. I looked at it and can't really see how the stator could be held in any other way other than through its holes whether the studs are 1/4" or 5/16". Not sure what he meant by held in by it's OD. what am I missing?
