Kinda what we said before he pulled it out. -
Well I won't claim to have fixed all leaks before pulling my engine but one thing I started doing after having a brand new valve cover gasket squeeze out is to flat file all gasket surface. I clean fine flat file run across the surface will take out the high spots or crowning. If you keep the teeth clean it results in a nice almost machined surface. Valve cover, stator cover, clutch cover, oil pan. Don't do the head.Originally posted by tkent02 View Post
Also make sure the o ring on the starter is fresh and that it is not getting cut when being installed.Last edited by posplayr; 09-14-2013, 11:56 AM.Comment

The plan was to ride it for a while, but since my brother in law that gave me the bike is dragging his feet on giving me the title I can't get it plated. So it looks like I should start with replacing the valve cover, stator cover, clutch cover, oil pan seals? Do I scrape off the old seals and grind the edges?Comment

Why exactly is he dragging his feet with the title? Are you sure he even has the title? At this point worry...Originally posted by claygs750e View PostComment

Well, I hate to tell you "I told you so", but I'm going to do it anyway, I told you so.
And so did several others.
Actually, before unloading another squirt of cleaner on the engine, I would be hounding the brother-in-law for the title.
That is ... unless he is going to pay you to clean and work on HIS bike.
After all, until the title is signed and transferred at the DMV, it's still his bike.

Title in hand yet??Comment

I would do nothing on the bike without having the title. Without that, all you have is a pile of parts.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.

I have no concern whatsoever with getting the title. The bike was given to me with the agreement that I would have wait until around December to get the title. Every bit of his belongings is in storage because they're in the process of moving. Once they move into the new place and get everything out of storage, including the title, then he will give it to me. I'm very close with the guy so there's not an issue with me thinking that I won't get the title, it's just a matter of time.Comment
