    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi there. Can anyone tell me what this part on the motor is for and what it does please? It is the raised part with a hex head bolt in the top of it. It is directly behind the oil pressure sending unit towards the rear of the motor near the rear top engine mounting. It only appears on the 550 motors.
 
i don't have a 550. don't know i have seen one.
But, looks like your pretty far a long in disassembly. Its just one more "hex" to unscrew and see!

A guess... because of the height and its proximity, i would say some kind of spring and detent ball (for transmission or shifter) resides in there..
 
Judging from the postion of it I'd guess it's a stop for the shift drum in the tranny. Probably has a spring under that pushes on a shaft.
