As Alan inferred, I assume that you are thinking of some type of oil filter between the oil tank and the oil pump, I am also thinking of something down that route, winter night boredom makes you do some strange things :roll: . Currently I am looking into a magnetic type pickup filter that would not ...

Ian, to ensure that the mag. sprocket/spindle is correctly positioned a tool can be made to lightly clamp the assembly square whilst also controlling the tensioning of the chain with a pusher block (the wooden block with the square headed alumi. screw), see attached. Another thought why sprocket tee...

Alan, have been awaiting your solution, I have a similar situation but not has severe, the sprocket with the uneven worn teeth had possibly been previously mounted on a shaft that was running out of true and thats how the teeth had became uneven.
