Had to take the intake manifold off to replace the rubber boots that connect them. As some of you may know there is two different bolt sizes that attach the manifolds to the engine. Well, pretty sure the guy that owned the bike before me botched the bolt placement. (only had one short bolt out...
I have a '94 VMAX I'm changing the filter on. The head of the bolt got stripped so I drilled and grinded it out. Looking back I wish I would have just welded a beater socket on and removed it that way but I got it out the drilling and grinding method. Just look a lot longer! ha ha
Anyways...
So, my good friend Rob has a real sharp '03 Z06 Vette. Nice car, very tasteful asthetic mods - silver car with black wheels on a chrome lip, and blackouts. The go-fast parts are also well through out for a bolt on car, a full header back exhaust with x-pipe, Borla Stingers, Vararam cold/ram...
On the rear cylinder exhaust, does anyone know the bolt size for the clamps that keep the exhaust tight? Mine are missing for some reason. Clamps are there, but the bolts are gone. Strange!
so if i'm not mistaken, my max is weeping oil from the left-hand crankcase breather cover bolt.
1) what could have happened to have caused this? age? normal wear? it's an '04 with 38K miles. something like, i don't know, causing too much pressure?
2) what can i do to fix this? can i simply...

the stripped hole is the one with locater collar, left side.
Now before I continue.. Is the other collared hole on the...
I removed the intake manifolds from #3 and #4 cylinder heads. The right side.. Oil was leaking out of the bolt holes for #3:ummm: but not #4. Why would these bolt holes be connected to a oil gallery or return?:ummm:

I have a wierd problem with an 06 model. At the front of the right scoop, there are 3 screws which hold the face of the scoop ( the vent) in place. The center screw completely rusts over and has to be replaced every 2 months. This has been going on for a couple of years now- had to buy a box of...
It has been stated in other threads (by sean) that the 6 pot calipers from the early 90's yzf750r are a direct bolt on for our '93+ Vmax's, it was also stated that these calipers are very hard to come by as the yzf750r is a realatively rare bike. This is true ,and when I have found them people...
This a good one. I'm doing the oil pipe o-ring job today and I appear to be missing the fastener that goes through the rear-most pipe coming off the main gallery supply pipe where it attaches to the engine. It's the pipe that looks it has a banjo type fitting on the end of it. Does anybody know...
I started hearing a click sound when I hit the front brake at low speed, when I looked down I noticed I'm missing the top bolt to hold the caliper on. Nice huh? Anyway does anyone have or know what size bolt I need ? I have the newer forks with the 4 piston calipers. Any help would be...
I found this and looks like a good price.

Does Mike Sayers sell kits?
I was putting my exhaust back on and I was tightening the last exhaust header and I was using a long extension because it was hard to reach. I was getting close to tight and I hear s snap and then the nut was kinda loose again.
I took both nuts off and looked at both block bolts and the...
I just received my new swingarm pivot bolt covers in the mail from Garret.
These really added to the looks of my bike. I have been trying to add a little bit more red accent to my bike, and these are just perfect.
They are powdercoated base color and then the tuning fork is under clear.

To those of you that are running the two line SS front brake lines....what was your install order at the master cylinder? Did you put a copper washer between the fittings? Or did you just use two outer washers and none between the 2 fittings?

How are you guys getting the tamper resistant bolt out on the plate that covers the diaphragm?
I don't have one of those special Torx wrenches with the hole in the center.
I was thinking of slotting it with a dremmel, but I don't want to screw up the bolt so that I need an extractor to get...
