SImple question needing simple answer
I eliminated my OPM on a S4 TII. Do I still need the gear that drives it in the front housing? The PO removed everything from the front cover and if I dont NEED to put that gear and shaft back in, Id rather not.

I don't believe that you do. You can take it out and put a block off plate in its place.

I think i remember reading here some were if you remove the shaft and gear you have to remove the front cover and seal a hole in the front iron that has oil flowing through it.

I'm guessing that's what was meant by the 'block off plate'
