Little off Topic - 500cc Matchless

Accept my apologies, for I am posting an irrelevant question here. I am assembling a g80 matchless. the question is little dumb. what comes in-between the 2 bearings? and what between the bearing and the crank case? From the manual I see there are 2 washers. Are they both steel or one steel and one rubber? Thanks

In a 350 engine there are two different size steel washers. Typical Matchless! Why didn't the just make the correct size spacer? But you can buy those parts quite cheaply from 'AMC Classics' Ron

Thank you so much. Now should I fix a rubber washer between this washer u sais and crankcase? Seen those in the manual. Not sure though. Thanks

They don't have a crankcase seal. They have a spacer between sprocket and main bearing as in most other singles or twins for that matter.If you don't know this stuff, i would suggest taking it to someone who does.And do you know about single and 2 start oil pumps that musn't be mixed up?
