I'll have to check that out but after driving it again I'm thinking I'm going to need a drink. Heck while I'm at it maybe i'll just pour the rest into my oil and see if it will refurbish my Berings too.

Can the ballencer on my 86 max give a two tone knock like a rod from the berings on either end of it got great oil pressure dosen't sound bad cold after warms up just sounds like a rod bering

I looked at a can of seafoam at kragen and was surprised to see that they do not list anything of what it's made of usually they are petrollium distiliates says you can use it in motor oil and just about everything else sure makes you wonder.

Is there a motor oil additive out there that is clutch safe for the Vmax that I might be able to use as a last ditch effort to see if I can either free up or smoth over my slight knocking that only comes in after its running hot. I think it's a possible rod bering or ballance shaft can hear it...

Sorry about hte doubble post wanted to get it in here instead

Well I did the shot gun, used Gummout carb cleaner, very little only what was needed threw the jets with the brass caps just a little down the mains and a short shot in the other holes to make sure they were clear with 60 to 80 maybe psi. I think pumping 100 plus can damage stuff mainly floats...

Well I got lucky and it worked I center punched the middle of the allen hole in the stock plug used a 21/64 drill and 1/8 npt pipe thread tap about half way up so the thing would not pull threw the threads and tightened the plastic gauge line adaptor in there and used it then to tighten the plug...

Yup looks good that's what I was hoping to find but autozone and Kragen well you understand. Are you running a copper or braided line of some kind.

Re: 1989 Vmax Kerker exhause baffel Wait a minute I thought the whole point was loud and powerful my buddy bought an 85 when they came out had it jetted put a kerker on it left it hollow and would scare the hell out of people walking on the sidewalk. I gotta admit kinda sucked when I got stuck...

Well after reading on how to carb sync I Relised one of my problems in life. Don't want to talk about the others just yet, my gauges don't have restrictors in the tubes to keep the mercury from bouncing like crazy now get a laugh on that. Duh. Can you imaging I've been having such fun trying to...

Ya I kinda wondered if the 1/8 pipe tap would be to small the drill size for it is 21/64ths and I think that the edges of the Allen hole would still be there and to wide for it the kit comes with a 1/4 adaptor that might work but like you said could get two thin down in at the bottom of the...

Thanks for both replys still wonder if someone has tried a sensor type where they got it and what they thought of it, mine might need a little work so I'm going to save the cash for now got a gauge at autozone going to tap the stock plug for a fitting and use the plastic line with brass fittings...

I think I might have the same problem because I just noticed th front right pipe at the top close to the head starting to get blue and burned looking I found that if you drilled the rivits out of the end cap of the pipe that it not only sounded better and helped you hear it to shift the pipes...
