I'm a bit concerned about the chaincase casting on my Villiers 32a (on a Scottish). I've not had it long so haven't had the chaincase cover off before.
Where the stud emerges, there appears to be some damage to the casting, almost as though either the chain has broken the casting or someone has hacked it off to stop the casting fouling the chain. The cover has a circular post that looks like it should marry up with a corresponding one on the casting, perhaps even with a gasket or o ring of some kind to form an oil seal. But if that's right, the one on the casting is broken.
Hopefully the following pictures will help explain. Do I need to be worried about this?
