Hi,Just stripped a meteor minor engine which doesn't seem to quite match our hosts parts list. It has a large journal crank but without the breather on the end. The timing cover has the six bolt pump covers and a 1/2 inch scavenge pump.Any ideas? Vince

What year are the crank-cases?


Crank shaft is from '58 - '59, timing cover is Post '63. Check the oil ways...


If you contact me on: royalenfield AT clear DOT net DOT nz. I can send you spec breakdown listing all part numbers etc, for all the 500/700/750 bottom ends

Hi, thanks Tim, our hosts parts list show the big pump on 1961 connie but not on 1962 model. Vince

I've noticed the occasional discrepancy in the online parts books. If you're in doubt, worth checking against a paper copy for your specific model/year. If you find a problem, let Hitchcocks know -- they'll put it right very quickly.
