Short Description: Ensure the critical integrity of your engine's oil filtration system with this precision-engineered fastening bolt. A vital component for maintaining oil purity and protecting your crankshaft from premature wear.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Dnepr MT-11 (and compatible models)
• Manufacturer Code / SKU: 201496
• Part Type: Engine / Lubrication System

Purpose and Role in the Motorcycle (based on the original manual):
The Oil Centrifuge Bolt is a specialized fastener responsible for securing the centrifuge cover to the centrifuge body on the front journal of the crankshaft. In the Dnepr MT-11, the centrifuge acts as a fine oil filter, utilizing centrifugal force to separate contaminants from the lubricant before it is fed to the connecting-rod bearings. Because this assembly rotates at high speeds, the bolt must maintain a precise clamping force to prevent the unit from loosening. According to the technical manual, this bolt must be tightened to a torque of 2.2 – 3.2 kgf·m and used with a lock washer to prevent spontaneous unscrewing. A failure or loosening of this bolt could lead to oil leaks or catastrophic failure of the oil filtration system, which would immediately jeopardize the life of the engine's crankshaft and bearings.

Benefits of Buying:

• Exact Technical Fit: Manufactured to meet the original factory specifications for thread pitch and strength, ensuring it handles the high centrifugal loads of the MT-11 engine.
• Enhanced Engine Longevity: By providing a secure seal for the centrifuge, this bolt ensures your oil remains filtered and free of debris, directly extending the service life of your engine internals.
• Restoration Quality: Ideal for those performing the mandatory 10,000 km centrifuge cleaning service or conducting a full engine overhaul to bring the motorcycle back to factory standards.
