Steve, without any of us hearing it you are gettting OPINIONS not advice. If you feel it is inside the engine, tear it down. Is there any MGNOC member or shop near you that can help you with your decision? joe Eish from Salineville,Oh. is a good dealer that could give you help. I don't know how fsr he is from you.

I'm not ?ing your abilities but do you know what you are doing? This engine is beautifully simple.Just start removing things that are in the way until you get to the rods.Remove them one at a time marking the position and direction. Make sure the bearing shells are stock and not undersize. when reassembling use Lubriplate white grease. Rotate the engine back and forth a few degrees to be sure there is NO binding or excessive friction on each rod. Use NEW rod bolts and torque EVERTYTHING with NO (dogs barking,wife hollering,friends with beer and other other party supplies)distractions. If you get unsure, ask? There is no fool like a confident fool. p.s. the crankshaft rod journal will get the most damage where you will be able to see it on the bottom of the crank when it is at BTDC.

and MI is the best!

Your point being? This is a technical filibuster. There are no answers...... If there is a summation= It's too cold for everyone to ride.

And while we're at it, make the sensor adapter out of platinum.

Neutral light status?Did you hear the sound of the fuel pump 2 second prime? Was the red kill switch pushed in? Lots of ?s.

I stand corrected. I was thinking of the coolant temp.sensor. The part in question is an air intake temp. sensor.

The GM sensor is a 3/8" NPT thread

You should ride a V11. All you see is your elbows!

These two lawyers were standing around the bar having a drink after a days work. This RED HOT girl walked by and one lawyer said "I sure would like to f**k her". The other responded ,"out of how much" ?

If you have one remaining key to the old lock/cylinder, keep it and sell it to someone (out of your area) who might need it.

Why the new lock cylinder and keys? Post pics of the defective parts! p.s. good luck with your Griso. It looks too good to be an albatross around your neck.

Will they hire you as a consultant for one penny as pay ?

FWIW ! The GOO I used is a Ford Motor Company product. The part # is E7AZ-19A426-A. This a heat sink grease you apply to modules that mount to a heat sink or use a surface they attatch to for the purpose of heat transfer.

Does "Honey West" ride there?

If Ratch' could find a way to put breasts on an engine oil temp sensor we could do away with ALL the other forums.

If you have the benefit of a bench vise, open the jaws open far enough to allow the tire to drop into the vise. Hold the wheel up about 1/2" above the jaws and tighten the vise to close any clearance of the tire. Then twist the wheel to break the beads from the wheel. Remove the wheel/tire from the vise and proceed with removal. p.s. Do not to any maintenance to your bike simply to save money. Any thing you do to your bike , do it with supervision or confidence you are doing it correctly and (I will use this overused word) SAFELY. You have all winter to play with your bike. You can also read all the "how to", GOOGLE, and hang out with your buddies, watch and ask ?s. Then fiddle with your bike with an understanding of what your end objective should be.

TRUE.... But if you "diy", I use a vegetable oil cooking spray on dismounting and mounting tires. If you are going to do it yourself, find a car wheel to set the bike wheel in or on and not hurt the rotor. ALSO put a blanket between the wheels to not mar the metal of the wheel.

I think we were in left field a LONG time ago.

This will become your greatest addiction. Get ready.....

Are there companies like Fastenal in your area? These companies usually have online catalogues...

The most important issue to address, is or are the rubber components in the fuel sysytem going to be compatible with the ethanol. RESEARCH this before you are sure.

Rich Maund, Sargent, Bill Russell,anyone but Corbin would not be up there on the top of the line seat rebuilders. YOUR butt is going to be sitting on that seat so you want the best.

You could install a prototype of Ratchethack's "handlebar mounted coon-tune oil temp sensor heat sink/variable resitor and potentiometer thingamabobs" to get things just right!

I liked the parade in BORAT much better..... That was the funniest movie ever made. The only problem was, it was funny ONE time only. Then you realized the people were genuine in their reactions and responses.
