Everyone of us has a expiration date . It always comes too early for us . A quick death is easier on the victim than a long death from a terminal illness . The person that has died will go to the next step . The ones that remain will be speechless . Being a Southerner ( the rest of the world may do the same ) , I go the funeral home / funeral almost weekly to pay my respects and the more I go the more I dislike it . All of us must make preparation for life , death and eternity . Make the best decision(s) because (my beliefs) you can't come back . As Hank Williams said " I'll never get out of this world alive " .

I place the worm gear part of the clamp against something where it will not turn CCW any .

Can you post a pic of the fuel line fitting ?

First , verify you have oil pressure with the engine running .Connect an ohmmeter to the switch after disconnecting the wire to the unit. If there is a change in continuity from KOEO to KOER your switch is good. If so proceed to the next step. With the key on is the light on ? Disconnect the wire at the oil pressure switch . If there is a change , touch the wire to a good known ground. If there is a change with this action you can decide if the switch is bad or not or if the light is inoperative .

You had a dealership ?

Do or do not , there is no try.

Go with the Heli-Coil kit. Just do it properly and you will not have any troubles .

I don't know if Timesert offers a thread repair for this drain plug. You will have to measure your drain plug thread pitch and see . Tmesert is the best thread repair kit available .

The VIN decoding as I remember is .... 1st character is the Country of origin. 2nd & 3rd character is the Manufacturer's I.D. 4th -8th is Brand & misc.info w/the last character being the engine.9th is a verification code 10th character is the year . 11th character is the plant . 12th-17th is the Serial number.

There was a company a few years ago ( Air Dog Diesel Fuel System ) that sold some high tech fuel pump / filtration device that aligned molecules , removed excess air molecules , ionized ( whatever needed ionizing )something or stratified something else . I think it was a It was about $1000 USD . JC Whitney or Ron Popeil wouldn't' try to pawn this junk off on anyone. The only thing these things do is remove $$$ from your checking account.

Huh ?

The interpretation is difficult . Can you explain in detail what your problem(s) is you are having ? Is it the V11 bike or another ?

Now you're talkin' right !

Lucky Phil's ultrasonic cleaner is the only way to go .

No kiddin"

Uhhh , you will have to decide for yourself .....

Do you think insurance companies watch YouTube ?

Most vehicles ( I use this term loosely ) show a build / production date 00/00 or 00/0000 . The fist characters distinguish the mo .The remaining characters distinguish the year. This may or may not be the year model. It is at least a reference point. Most automobiles start producing the next model yr around Aug. or Sept. I am sure motorcycles use this same "rule" . This is a rule , not a law . Look at the VIN plate on your car or truck . It is the easiest to inspect and you will get familiar with this.

Hmmmm.

You will need to look at some service info to see what is the specific fuel pressure .

Not sure of the build date but it's listed as a 2001. What is the build date ?

Yes . IDK if MG has a diagram of indexing piston rings. Your piston pin will be 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock looking down at the piston . You do not want ring gaps in or around this part of the piston pin area. You will probably want the top 2 compression rings at least 90 degrees from each other .Maybe 10 o'clock & 4 o'clock I can't tell if the oil wiper ring is a 1 or 3 piece device . If it is 1 piece you want it 120 degrees from the compression rings . 3 piece oil wiper rings , you will want the expander and the wipers 120 degrees . Do some investigating or some others can give input .

#1 all fuel systems that are not gravity feed , require pressured fuel to reach the fuel mixing device. The fuel supply requires pressure & volume . All systems have operating specs. for this . a. clogged fuel filters will cause a lowered fuel pressure / volume condition . b. fuel pressure / volume is critical for fuel injected powerplants . c on some fuel injected vehicles a 2 psi below specs will cause a no-start condition . #2 the ecm does not (in this case ) know what the actual fuel pressure is. It assumes it is in operating range. #3 I do not know if any factory sensors on the V11 are wide band O2 sensors or not . #4 most fuel pressure regulators have this port that is open to atmosphere , connected to manifold vacuum . This will lower or raise fuel pressure to work with a change in throttle . I do not know why MG does not use this . To emry , what is aDI unit ?

After you get through & ready to reassemble , make sure you index the piston ring end gap correctly !

The fuel pressure is important . The ecm is "mapped" for this pressure for the correct spray pattern , volume , etc. The computer decides the pulse width of the injector(s) .
