rings

Hi guys I am going to be fitting an uprated o ring and engine saver bracket, have any of you guys done the job, are there any pitfalls I need to look out for, the only thing that Im concerned with are the header bolts, anyone got any tips who has done this job?

Hey y'all! Just checking in for the occasional pestering . Had a thought cross my mind - gapless rings seal better but make more friction, negating the benefits in power. So, would it be ill-advised to run a low-tension oil control and a gapless top ring? ONLY the gapless top ring? As in no 2nd...

I got a set of pistons on ebay that seller said were for a 1300 motor. They supposedly came out of a very low mileage motor, they were very clean so I got them. It was worth it to me to get them just for the rings. They are very nice, but they are 1200 VMax pistons. Probably be a loose fit in...

anyone know where i can get the o rings for the coolant drain valve assembly? thanky

Last year when I did my valve cover gaskets I replaced the O rings between the V Boost intakes and the head. I basically matched what I thought were the correct size o rings but now I see the #1 cylinder has a leak that's running down the cylinder and onto the crank case and think maybe it's the...

I just bought a toyhauler but it wasn't set up to strap down 2 bikes. I need to install more tiedown points and wheel chocks and I want it to look clean when the wheel chocks are removed. Maybe threaded inserts for the wheel chocks instead of just wood screws...

are the o rings that seal the intake to the head special? in other words do they have specific "crush properties" for lack of better terms or some special properties that require the specif use of the o rings yamaha supplies, i have bought a set of o rings that fit in the grove perfectly...

Hi, I`ve got a strange problem with my Vmax with which I hope you guys can help me. Since my rear downpipes were loose, with the clamp fully tightened (7 in drawing below) you could still slide them out of the clamp leaving the ring (5) and stopper (6) in place. The downpipes were only held in...

Well, I went for a ride on Saturday for a bit and came back and had bunch of oil on my engine. Not the typical seeping oil but splashes. It looked like it was coming from my airbox so I figured it was leaking from the carb joint which goes through the airbox. I was right, one joint was loose and...

Ok some where on here i seen that someone was looking for an "O" Ring that they had lost when removing the idle adj. screw for a shotgun cleaning, if you go to the dealer they will try to sell you the whole unit Idle screw, and all i found a part # its a susuki# 13295-26E00 thats just the "O"...

I'm still in the process of tearing down this '88 engine for a complete rebuild... how do I know which size ring set to order for the pistons? From what I saw in the parts fiche, there's stock and then two sizes of slightly oversized. Are those intended to compensate for wear on the sleeve?
