Funny thread, I find the creatures to be fun to watch, but stinky to handle. Fortunately they've stayed out of and off my bike, as have mice... and spiders... mostly Sorry 'bout your geroter thingy GMaan, getting into nicer weather, hope you can be riding again soon!! |

Deffinetly not a ferret which are part of the skunk family thats why they stink, owned one. But anyway was there no other damage looks like it could have been much worse |

Have you inspected/replaced your oil pump drive gear? I would be concerned that kind of oil pump damage could be caused by a tooth from the drive gear breaking off and becoming lodged in the pump. |

What Oopezoo said... don't put that back together without checking that gear. At a minimum, I'd personally pull the cam cover (though that means you need to remove at least one rocker box also) and clean and check also before I ran that again as well. |
