alternator/stator covers

[severoni]

is the alternator cover on a 3tj the same as on a 4JH engine?

I'm resigned to an aftermarket stator and pickup but the cover is eluding me on fleabay, but a nice condition 3tj one has come up, and I wonder if the casing is the same.

thanks.

Not quite the wires come out in a different place but I think they can be nodded to fit

thanks EC, Ive managed to find a new fzr600r one for forty five pounds so I just clicked the Buy it now. I also found a new oil pump starter/starter gears cover for 35 and so the only used cover I bought was the sprocket one, which for six quid couldn't be sniffed at :)

I'll go to Eletrex or similar for the stator coil itself once I decide whether to stroke the engine out to 660 or not.

The stator coil sits in the cover, the flywheel is on the end of the crank.

yes I know that, but at the moment I'm yet to decide between using a 3HE crank for the 660 conversion, or a 4JH crank and jut build the engine normally.

The thing that is worrying me about the 660 conversion is the crank oil seal, of which you had custom made for you.

Since I'm going to use an ignitech cdi box, what I am looking for is whether it matters using the 3he flywheel on the 3he crank or whether I am forced to use the 4JH as you did with the bdk spacer.


ok, put it another way:

when you built your 660 - imagine you did not have any cdi or stator coil, or ignition coils or indeed any harness.

All you have is a 1wg frame.

a 4jh engine in pieces in a box, without a stator.

a 3HE crank

fzs fazer rods from a 2000 bike.

that's it.

the rest is open insofar that I am have the luxury of cherry picking components as I have nothing to mate up to apart from the engine fitting in the frame :)

Does this come over from the PB Forum ?

With a clean sheet and just a Genesis frame id use a ThunderCat engine, 4JH carbs, either TCat or 4jh airbox and downpipes.
Really i wouldnd get into a 660 it will add a whole extra level to the project more money and a lot more time. Do this after the bike gets an mot.

The rods have to be from the FZS600 old shape Fazer not the R6 based engine
As i said in the other thread use a Yam cdi.

It makes no differance what ignition unit you use,If you use the 3He crank you will have to use the 4JH flywheel.

yes it does - for whatever reason the pb forum wouldn't let me log in again so after a week of sending emails I thought sod it.

the rods are 2000 model year, apparently facelift year was 2002- but i might be wrong. they cost me 25 pounds so not the end of the world.

I'm not in any rush to get rolling, and after speaking to a friend who's built a yzr rainey replica from an rd500, i'm tempted to have with this build.

i have a 4jh engine in pieces, delivered to me in a box. so its a full complete rebuild.

@Hunter, many thanks for the clarification.

Sounds like you're set then.
3he cranks aren't really big money if you can wait for a low starting price on an auction.
