Holy Crap Dale, What the Hell is that ????
And obviously it didn't hurt your Max too much because I remember you being right on my Tail in the twisties on the 219 on the way to Thunder.
Looks like some sort of drill debris from a machining operation of some sort. Lodged in the water jacket & worked its way thru circulation to the point of restriction at the thermostat housing. It would have been useful to show something for comparison.

Dennis, I've been having some hot start issues. I think my 8 yr old odyssey is going out. Charges but seems week when hot. I thought I would rule out the starter so took it apart. This piece was sitting right behind that elbowed section with the o ring at the thermostat. It was blocking approx. 50% of that passage.
I should have put a ruler in the pic. It was about 1/4" dia by 1/2" long. Obviously machining pieces not cleaned out properly.
Time for one of your UB12220 batteries you love so much!:biglaugh:

You can't go wrong with OEM seals. There are some bad quality seals sold cheap om E-bay. Not saying all are bad.

Nice !!
Be sure to closely inspect the downtubes for knicks, as putting new seals onto tubes where there are breaks in the hard chrome wiped area is a waste of time and $. They will leak in short time.
Forking by Frank is one place for downtubes, but they aren't cheap. If I had an early model front end I would use this as an excuse to upgrade the triple trees, sliders, downtubes, calipers, and rotors to the 1993+ 43 mm size downtubes, instead of spending the $$ on new Frank's 40 mm 1985-'92 downtubes.

Mine is a 2005 so it has the bigger forks already
I used sealmate and it cleaned some dirt and no more leak for now but I'm still gonna change them when they come in
My forks are in good shape
