Thanks Rob....but I have this picture. I see the position of the brake stop on the shaft however, if I install the brake stop as it is in the picture there is no room left to put in a cotter pin as the shaft is not long enough. What gives?

Also, it has come to my attention that the compression and oil control rings were replaced on my M38A1 CDN2 in the 2011 rebuild by the retired Petawawa mechanic. I have gone through the oil loss details in past posts. It has now come to my attention that there is no PCV ventilator baffle although everything else is there and the PCV valve is free and clean. What does the ventilator baffle do and can the lack of this cause oil loss/burning?
