    Really need some wire idenification help to finish my 86gs550ESG

    So the black wire goes to the G/Y, the black/white wire with the spade connector goes to a matching female spade connector (was missing) that goes to either a direct bolt on the frame of the negative battery terminal. The rectifier was bad sending a very low current through the ground. Once I...

    I called 9 machine shops , no one here even does auto machining. Even called 3 different auto parts place, the place they used went out of business . Actually had a plumber at my house working and I asked him, he gave me the name of a diesel repair shop , I called them, they said they didn?t...

    Internal thread on head cover stripped? Oil leaking gs550es

    I have no idea , I did not seem to over torque it, didn’t even know it was stripped until I had an oil leak after valve adjustment last weekend. I am going to try to find a machine shop because I don’t have a drill press and I am sure I would drill it crooked.

    Internal thread on head cover stripped? Oil leaking gs550es

    BTW while I am here, do you use the rubber valve cover gasket with RTV or without, I have used a light coat of black rtv in the past which makes gasket reuse almost impossible, I have a new gasket, is it designed to be used WITHOUT RTV?

    Internal thread on head cover stripped? Oil leaking gs550es

    Would this be a machine shop issue or a motorcycle repair shop issue? Thanks Also see my reply about finding a complete 83 head, could I just use the cap from that?

    Internal thread on head cover stripped? Oil leaking gs550es

    I haven't used a helicoil before, I found a 7x1 and have on order but I thought you had to drill out the head and install the heli there, what do you mean by removing the bearing cap?

    Internal thread on head cover stripped? Oil leaking gs550es

    After my last valve adjustment, one of the quarter sized chrome bolts that screws the headcover into the head is stripped. The bolt threads looks good so it must be the head threads. I don't know the thread pitch size. Should I try a thread chaser (and which one) at home or should I take it to...
