Top End Oiler Project

I can certainly recommend Greg's TEO's. I bought two from Greg and one from a member after Greg sold out. Have two of them fitted to my bikes and the third one on a mates bikes. They look good and work great.

hands down the best thought out and executed design
 
British Standard Pipe is common on Japanese vehicles. The difference is the thread pitch Brit = 28 threads per inch while US "NPT" has 27 threads per inch. The big difference however is that the US NPT is tapered which makes the threads self sealing because they wedge to remove clearance. The Brit thread is straight, like bolt threads, which makes these less able to seal. Both work well enough but the US pipe system is more effective.

Check any good quality tap & die sets. The US standard sets will typicall include a 1/8 NPT while the metric (ISO sets) contain a 1/8-BSP tap.

Here's another one, Why do Japanese motorcycles use 10-32 US Machine Screws for body fastenings?

Actually, they use 5mm -0.8 pitch metric screws which are virually identical. Try it, they substitute so well that swapping screws and nuts has no difference in feel. Imagine how foolish I felt after over 40 years of using both and no having noticed....(VBG)

One can sometimes feel a difference when running a plated 5mm -0.8 pitch screw into a 10-32 die but that's about it. It makes locating a replacement screw while on the road a lot easier.

The anodizers charge by the lot, or batch, if you prefer. So, it's cost effective to get as many parts into the batch as you can. I considered setting up an anodize line and doing it myself. But the nasty chemicals and effort involved nixed that idea.
I have considered the idea of also selling individual parts, as well as complete kits.

On a side note, I have found that Suzuki for some strange reason used a rather odd British thread for temp sensor. (Maybe not so odd if you're British) 1/8-28 BSTP, as opposed to 1/8-27 NPT. Getting taps to do the job is not an issue. But just an interesting bit of info.

Actually there are two thread forms for British pipe.
BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel)
BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper)
The threads that Suzuki used on their temp sensors
are of the taper variety.
 
I am reasonably new here but I would love the opurtunity to purchase a set.. black if possible.

Let me know when funds are required.

Great engineering.
 
I am having a problem with leakage where the TEO attatches to the head since I put on a new head. Around town a few drips here and there, but on longer runs at high rpm, my pantleg gets soaked:(
I have cleaned and inspected the mating surfaces and made sure the mating surface on the head was good.
I have used quite a bit of torque on the bolts, but could someone give me a torque value to go by? I do not want to strip the threads out.
 
You probably need new crush washers. CRUSH being the operative word here.
The aluminum washers deform slightly to create the seal. And they don't really like to be reused.
PM me your address again & I'll send some new ones to you.

Torque to 80-100 INCH/lbs MAX

Again 80-100 INCH/lbs MAX

That's INCH, not FOOT/lbs


I am still working on more of these, but I am really strapped for free time.

Greg, are you still going to do some more? I will get two more from you if you do.

Me too

Hi Greg,

I would be interested in a set or 2. I will watch this thread with much interest.

Richard. :)
 
Right now, this project is kind of back burner for me.
I've got a lot of parts machined, but no time to make hoses,
nor enough extra cash to buy the fittings I need to complete
the kits.
So........I'll get back to them eventually.
Just don't have any real time table at the moment.
 
Thanks for the heads up Greg. I know alot of us appreciate the info. <chomps on bit> :pray:

Just checking in to see if you have had any time to put towards the oiler kits Greg???

Just checkin' :-\\\

Richard
 
I am still making parts.
They do, however, take a lot of time.
One of the things I am severely lacking, for the most part.

I sent you an E-mail just yesterday.
Can you sell me just the three pieces without the hoses and fittings?
Two sets at least?

Eric
 
Thank you Greg,

I hope you don't think I am pestering you. I totally understand the way that our life can become a real drain on our time resources. You have already put a HEAP of your own time with what you have achieved so far and it obviously takes a HEAP more time to continue with such a good product.

I will continue to check in from time to time ( I just know I can't stop myself from asking until you advise us all that they are ready).

So good on you and keep up the good work ( when you can). :clap:
