Oil Pan-'13 Street Triple 675

I'd suggest that you find a motorcycle mechanic quickly - and get your bike away from the person that currently has it since he, clearly, isn't talking sense. Either that or he's completely misunderstanding your requirements.

It sounds like you need to drain the oil - and keep it so that it can be strained to check for metallic parts - remove the sump pan (Triumph part number T1230138) and replace with a new gasket (Triumph part number T1230119) if it's all clear.

Good luck.

 

I think it’s worth a call to a triumph dealer and just ask a question?
I’ve found them really helpful in the past few years tbh so worth a go. As @Adie P said, get it out of there and have a good look yourself as it’s probably possible.

 

So we're talking about a Triumph dealer? Seriously?

There MUST be a significant gap in their understanding of what you want/need from them, or they simply should not be trading under the banner of a Triumph dealer. Heck, even an independent would need nothing more than a quick look at the bike to be able to give you an idea of what could be done and in what timescale. A month and more just to tell you they need to take the engine out? They are - as my American friend would say - "yanking your chain"!

My advice, FWIW, would be to get the truck and trailer down there soon as, get the bike loaded up and get it back home. If you've got somewhere safe, clean and dry to work on it, buy the necessary gaskets and seals; a paddock stand; a 'shop manual (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Triumph-Da...ocphy=9045339&hvtargid=pla-437792587429&psc=1) and a bunch of good quality tools and do it yourself. You'll still have saved money over what the dealer was quoting and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you've done the job that you wanted to be done - properly!

If you don't have anywhere to work on it, start looking for local independent motorcycle workshops - this level of work should be meat and drink for them if they're any good. Try to find other Triumph owners in your county/state and see where they go or if they know of a good tech.

From another forum :-

You don't need to move the engine to get the sump off. It can be done as it is. You just need an extension bar for your socket to get at the 8mm bolts at the back. Make sure you clean the faces of both cases to remove the old gasket. I used a sharp Stanley knife blade. Make sure you run it almost flat against the faces so you don't cut into the faces. It's a PITA job to do lying on your back, but just take our time.

You will also need a couple of small "O" rings for the oil transfer tube which you wil ned to remove in order to attach the gasket.

I sincerely hope that you get it sorted - and soon, though the Arkansas weather will probably soon rule out much riding anyway. Do, please, let us know how you get on and good luck!

 

I agree with @Adie P that you should get your bike out of there ASAP but I’m curious as to what has caused this issue with the metal pieces from the engine case that may be in the oil pan?

 

Hmmmmm..... OK, well, THAT does put a very different perspective on the overall issue.

SO, you've definitely holed the crankcase and, as it's an impact from outside - i.e. the chain impacting the case - there's a very high degree of probability that there WILL be metallic debris inside the engine and, therefore, in the sump.

Under those circumstances I can understand why the dealer was somewhat reluctant to take the sump pan off separately as it will/would be a necessary part of the overall job once that can be scheduled. A holed crankcase will almost certainly require a full engine out operation anyway so it would seem a fairly pointless effort to just remove the sump pan as a separate operation. Arguably, he might, in fact, be trying to save you money and/or time!

Lessons to be learned ...

- note to self ..... ask more questions and get the full story first before jumping two steps forward to an incorrect conclusion! ASS U ME.

- note to OP .... maintain the bike, especially the running gear; give all the details in the question before looking for detailed answers.

Hope you get it sorted, one way or another.

 

Thanks for the update. I wonder if you are going to be better just replacing the engine if you have holed the crankcase? Best of luck whichever way you go.

Yes the pan is removable bit of a sod but removable. You say you had it ally welded. I am not so sure that that is a sensible job without stripping the cases. You could have distorted the cases now not to mention damaged seals and o rings. Welcome to the family by the way.
