Correct. Somebody on the phpBB posted a pic of the modification needed to clear the counterweight. Hopefully it will re-appear.

I don't know anything about the sumps of Toranas, was it only the GTR sump with baffles that there is an issue with?

Somebody posted a pic on the phpBB clearly showing what needed to be done. If that pic could re-appear, it would help a few people here.enough to clear the crank, i would thinkOthers have. The question is, how much do you have to remove?
