Vespa GTS Super 300 ie (2008)
- The solid half-bearing is intended to stand the
thrusts caused by combustion, and for this reason
it is arranged opposed the cylinder.
- To prevent shutters in the oil feeding channels,
the matching surface of the two half-bearings must
be perfectly orthogonal to the cylinder axis, as
shown in the figure.
- The oil feeding channel section is also affected
by the bushings driving depth compared with the
crankshaft axial clearance of the limiting surface.
N.B.
TO MEASURE WEAR LIMITS AND COUPLING CLEARANCES, SEE THE SPECIFICATIONS CHAP-
TER.
