Hi,
Seen allot of questions about crank, rod bearing size and is wondering what size(in mm) is those different color codes.
I'm doing a rebuild of my Vmax engine to support turbo :)
Anyone that know?

Hey guys, I also need help with this on my friend's 2001. I can't for the life of me figure this out because it seems like I end up needing one 7 set of bearings, and those dont exist apparently. Any help would be appreciated!
Looking at the oil filter with the pan as it would sit on the...
Hi,
I am trying to find the correct thicknesses for connecting rod and crankshaft main bearing shells but ran into an issue.
For crankshaft main bearings you need the markings on the crankshaft and the outside of the engine block. The first one no problem, the engine mount where the numbers...
We are rebuilding a 1990 vmax and have some questions about the rear wheel.
For parts 2 and 3, i have them pressed together, but when you put them into the wheel there's nothing holding them from falling into the wheel itself?
And also, is the bearing, number 6, suppose to sit on the lip of...
Hey guys. New here and looking for some info from a 1989. The bearing right behind clutch(in the cases) broke its cage and dumped out 5 of the ball bearings. I have not seen this at all on this site. Found a pic where it looks like this bearing is "keyed" into the cases. That means splitting...
Hi, I'm desperate for guidance here. My 96 Vmax stage 7 is a daily rider and she's been out of commision for 2 weeks.
I'm forced to use a car:bang head:
A noise coming from the clutch turned out to be a ball bearing. The one behind the clutch basket.
I have removed springs, plates, nut...
Does anybody know if the spacer in the rear wheel will come out either side? When I knocked the bearings out a few months ago I dinged up the spacer a little. I actualy called carrozzeria and asked about buying a replacement, because I wanted every thing new when I put it back together. They...
Just thought I'd share how I got the rear bearings out. I'll skip over how I got the first set of bearings out as you get those out the same way you get the ones out of the front wheel (less than 5 minutes for that).
I first destroyed the cage and removes the needle bearings leaving just the...
so it seems that i'm retorquing the bearings a lot like every 500 miles--this doesn't seem right to me. idk how many miles it should be in general, but 500 seems problematic. i'm being realistic and not dreaming of never having to revisit the steering head bearings, but hold long should one...
I am having some more steering head nut wrenches made.
They will be ready to ship on December 6th.
These will assist in setting the steering bearing tightness on all 1st gen VMax's.
The Yamaha equivalent is around $80, P/N YU-01268
I am selling these for $25.00 including US shipping...
Just wanted to let everyone know here he ships quick, price is right, and the wrench works great. used it this weekend. I didn't use it with my torque wrench but put a 3/8" ratchet on it and it fit perfectly.
:punk:

Hello
After the better part of a day I finally got the upper bearing races removed. The lower races, however, look even more stubborn. There is no lip at all to drive it out with a long screwdriver from above. One suggestion was to weld a bead directly onto it and use that to drive it out...
I had one of my bolts from my cam sprocket decide he didnt want to play any more and wanted to take up residence in my sump.
Sean being the upstanding guy he is sent me out some new bolts and gaskets to go with.
Had to take the intake cam bearing cap off to get at the bolt and this is what I...
Hi all:
I'm about to have in my possession a good heat gun (specifically, a Master Appliance HG501A Master Heat Gun that TURBOVMAX recommended.)
Any instructions from y'all regarding the removal of my bottom steering head bearing race with this tool?
Thanks very much!
