Snap ring anyone?

Hello all,

Wondering if any of you might know where I might find the internal snap/retainer ring that secures the counter balance shaft cover on a 787? I tried ordering a new ring from SeaDoo and, of course, the part number has changed and so too has the part itself. What is available now is a black plastic cover that fits in the groove where the retainer ring would normally go & once installed you would only need to remove that convenient little plug to refill the 1 oz. of 30 wt oil that is called for.

The problem I have is that my case does not have the handy little refill plug, although it does have the boss & area where it would normally be machined. I think this means that what I have in our trusty little 97' GTX is a replacement case from Bombardier. When I tore down the case the only thing retaining the cover was about 1/4 of the old retaining ring. I would expect that the last owner had a hard time finding one as well.

If nothing else I'd buy a used one or maybe give Grainger a call.

Thanks!
 
The 787 engines in 95 & 96 did not have a filler plug. You have to add the oil in the small hole near the transfer of the PTO cylinder before you install the cylinders. The plug on the end of the balance shaft is not for adding oil as once the cases are together, you can't remove it. Buy the upgraded part and assemble it.
