USA motor blocks
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, July 26, 2004 2:42 AM
Hi guys,

Just had a few days off and gave my NW2 & GP38-2 a good clean. Whilst doing this I noticed that there is a screw in each end of the motor block and in the 38-2 these are screwed in all the way & in the NW2 they are about a quarter inch proud. I took the bottom cover off the NW2 and I couldn't really see what these screws do. They can't be there for lube purposes because the bottom cover comes off, and the instructions tell you to do this for lube anyway. Any ideas/thoughts on the purpose of these.
Cheers,
Kim
