Right then chaps I'm sorting a lock up clutch for the RU and I need to know what this oil feed does as you can see by the last picture it doesn't feed directly into the plates, it feeds here....

And exits here..

As you can see it wouldn't run directly onto the plates so what does it do ? ...

Hello all

It's not a feed, it's a drain, the cover is an air/oil separator, oily air goes in the top, it's drawn through a basic Labyrinth that separates the oil which drains through the tube at the bottom into the sump

Is this one a crank case breather also, it leads into the air/oil separator also via the casting holes and two drilled holes in clutch case.

I've run mine without it even taken the pipe out that leads to the chamber in the sump as I'm running a lock up clutch with a window and it seems to be fine
