CB500K2 four 1975 oil pick up fitment
martin_uk:
Thanks for help withother issues , its great to have input from others with more experience on these engines.
I have another question, re the fitment of the oil pick up filter in sump.
It is quite a loose fit and only held in position by sump plate. I would have been happier if there was an O ring to seal it, but no groove apparent.
Is this how they are or have I missed something?

That is how it works
I think the oil level is high enough so it doesn't matter about the seal

Nurse Julie:
No O ring fitted to the pick up on 500 Martin.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I thought that was strange as well Martin especically as the 400 iirc does have an O ring.
As Julie & John have said that's how they made it.
Oddjob:
If you look at the strainer you'll see it has 4 small legs, these touch the bottom of the sump and keep it in place and also serve as the gap for the oil to flow through before entering the strainer, they are high enough so that any sludge at the bottom of the pan doesn't get sucked up into the strainer, until of course it gets deep enough for it to do that, in which case you've already got severe problems. So no need for an oring.
