Oh well, on to working on the jeep.
-
Buttoning the bike back up, pipe clamps fucked. Didn't think of checking them out when taking everything apart. Dumbass.
-
Both. This bike has close to 130000 miles. Ridden hard. Put away wet. Seriously now. Ridden coast to coast, all times of the year, salted roads and unfortunately salt water a few times. Outer Banks. Rte 12. One road in, on road out....sometimes.

Just finished it at 185. Feels right. went to harbor freight this morning and bought a 1/4 drive torque wrench. Worked like a charm.

Haynes is WAY off. '97 factory manual calls for 21nm./15 ft.lb. But the '99-'00 manual calls for 20nm/14ft.lb. like the Haynes. Honda calls them 'exhaust pipe joint nut'.
I've always just done them by feel, but if I were gonna use specs I'd use the newer one.
The difference between 177inlbs or 185 inlbs. If you're doing them by feel probably not much of a difference I would think.

Or 177 inlbs on this side of the pond. Thank you sir!

Replacing the header on my '97 XX and cant find my manual anyone have the torque values for header bolts. TIA

Thanks dejah. I missed this post. I found one from a 97 at a salvage yard in California. Should be here thisweek.

Thanks Joe

The one on my 1997 has just rusted through at the base.Anything special I should be doing before trying to loosen the nuts. Is shearing the bolts off and issue? Alternate heating and penetrating oil or not necessary? I do NOT want to shear any of these bolts off. TIA

I'm looking at a 2001 with the two brothers exhaust. The can seems a bit higher though I didn't take any measurements. I was wondering if the can would be too close to the side case.
-
Anyone have this combination?

Once a year. Rent a house on the beach on Hatteras Island (Rodanthe-Waves-Salvo) for a week. 11-12 hour ride. Just interested in getting there.

just as a point of reference for this topic, I believe that the oil cooler is supplied with a separate low pressure feed, it does not carry the high pressure supply line. Thus most any oil proof hose should work in a pinch. Most any motor vehicle plumbing can be upgraded with pieces from a racing hose supply shop, and often at a good price compared to OEM.
A local mechanic suggested the same thing.

Pretty much rlde year round here in upstate new yawk weather permitting. Salt on the roads from october-november to march april. Plus the occaisional Foot and a half of saltwater when vising the outer banks. You know Rte 12... one road in...one road out...sometimes.

What do you recommend flushing with?
-
So...alternate applications of heat and cooling (3 rounds) and then applying something called NANO penetrating lubricant (couldn't find Kroil locally) and letting it sit for 24 hours. Results are all 8 bolts loosen with no issues. Lines should be delivered by tomorrow. Will be up and running by the weekend. Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Just found a set on ebay for $37. Snapped em up. Now all I have to do is get the old ones off without shearing the bolts. Been heating them and letting them cool as suggested. I'll let you know how I make out/
-
Part numbers for the '97 and '98 are the same, 15510-MAT-000. Part number for the '99 is 15510-MAT-E00. Only change is the E in the last three characters. Any cross referencing gurus on here?
-
Well, bad news. Pipes to oil cooler for the '97 are obsolete. No longer available from honda. Pipe is not cracked as far as I can tell but definately corroded. Leaking mid-pipe. Pretty sure non-repairable unless you guys have a suggestion? Thanks for all your help by the way. Hey Joe! Got anything laying around?

If it was only 3000 miles closer.

You should have seen the lines to the oil cooler. They went last year.
