First time engine rebuild
Where can I get this part and if I can even get a new one. Sorry not sure what it's called. Also where is a good place to get gaskets and bearings? This is a 2.5 200

FWIW - this motor is still running 3 years later on premix with the oil plug and the bad worm gear.

Ok I figured it was something for the oil injection which it no longer has. I'll just take it off and continue on with the build. Thanks!

Should probably leave gear in place. Make sure there is nothing loose that can come off. Removal of gear will reduce crankcase pressure in that hole and make motor a bit lazy.

I agree with Texas and Rock.
Leave it in place unless it’s damaged or coming apart. You like to have something in place there.
ProMarine sell it if you need to replace it.

the bottom bearing area is important that it be keep clean it good you found these shavings because the gas oil mixture that puddles down there oils the top bearing via the small hose that goes directly to the bearing good job

and very important info! It starts by clogging that little screen on the check valve.
While you have things apart I suggested to take it apart, make sure it is not coming apart, give it a good cleaning and remove any pieces that maybe sharp or about to come loose. I have bought plenty from Pro just to be safe.

Hi Bobby - that's me. Thanks again for supporting my bad habit I really enjoyed cobbling together 2.4L, 2.5L, 3.0L Craigslist motors and unloading the parts I didn't need. I am not really active anymore with the buying or selling, but I have a great collection of motors..
