Why remove it?
It’s going to the machinist to be cleaned and gone through. Do you think they won’t need this off? They said they want it stripped. I suppose I could ask them when I bring it if there’s no easy way to get it off.
They don’t need it out after all - thanks
Interesting. I understand there is a balance of three positions at various machine shops:
- remove everything so we have nothing but the iron block (or aluminum head)
- remove nothing so we can take it apart as part of our process
- remove most things, but not everything
It sounds like this falls in the last category which is hard to define. I would think it also sets up a small possibility for damage to protruding/projecting parts. Probably minimal.
It's pressed in. Not a good idea to remove.
Leave that one. I’d only worry about it if it is messed up in the process. They’re still available new and not too expensive. I had to replace the one on Bert’s M90 because the E-clip groove was damaged. You’ll ruin it removing it.
