If you convert to the plastic worm be aware there are 2 different ones along withe the drums. You can get large or small spline drum and the teeth that turn the worm are different sizes.

They bottom out on the crankcase. No issues with the screw since it would be steel screw on magnesium. It will leave a small mark on the crankcase. Often you do not need to screw them all the way down - you can just screw them in 1/4" and pull up on the screw heads. But sometimes the washer is really pressed on there well and you need to do what he shows in the video.Hey Matt-
I watched your video where you use 2 x M5 bolts to gradually remove the oiler by screwing them in a little on each side to literally pull the oiler out.
I'd like to do this on my saw to help with turning around the spiral washer.
What do those bolts bottom out on in order to do the pulling on the oiler they do? I'm just curious if it's plastic, metal, etc -- wondering if it would ruin the bolts (bugger the threads driving into metal for instance) just wondering before I dig in... I thought it was an odd design. Just being extra careful with my saw since its kinda rare.
That looks good. You don't want it flush because one of the jobs of the washer is to prevent the clutch drum / sprocket from contacting the oil pump. If it were out too far the clutch drum would bind once the clutch shoes were torqued down and that would be your clue.I watched Mattyo's video where he just gets the clutch off and while the video is a bit dark, that washer on the saw in that video looks the same amount protruding out or even more than my setup.
So I think I'm good to go. Will try reassembling everything else and if you guys tell me I need to anything else w/ that washer it's easy to take back off until the saw gets run again and cranks the clutch back on really tight...
I was really happy to see the condition of the bronze colored gear and the gear on the oil pump -- they look like they should be fine for a long time.
I now have a spare rim sprocket, needle bearing, and spiral washer.
