At least you've got your 5 posts in and the overt sarcasm can begin in earnest! Somehow, I can't get your photos to render (if that's the correct cyber-term) so can't see the crack. If it's not structural, and it's accessible, I would be tempted to clean it up and try the JBWeld. It's certainly not an elegant solution, while removing the chest cover and having a TIG magician button it might b the best world. My first thought would be to get it to Bjorn's little brother across the channel . . .

True, the 1999-2002 tanks are chin pad/external filter/pump and 2003 on have internal filter/pump and smooth top. Steve, just curious, if your LeMans has a VIN tenth digit of "5" or "4?" (No one here has ever confirmed a V11 actually built in '05 . . .)

Maybe worth using a thread sealer on the bolt and see if it makes any difference. Tonight, I'll trying searching out the s]case repair thread. It wasn't pretty, but it worked for the guy without removing/repairing/replacing the timing cover. Seems like he cleaned it up and used JB Weld, a metal epoxy common in the US.

Sure, but we'll love you for it!

Yeah, I get the same. Harrumph! Come'on, gs! Don't me me ride up there to The River and straighten this out.

Stew, Yeah, 6mm screw: 8-12 NM. I've always wire brushed my threads and treated them to a dab of copper anti-seize. Wipe the gaskets and head surface clean. Tighten in a "star" pattern from the inside > out. Same gaskets after 90,000+ miles! (FWIW, I use LowRyter's "tug-squinch" method for the torque using a T-handle . . .)

As long as it doesn't come out, "?!#@$in' docc!" The forum police here won't allow overt sarcasm until your 5th post . . . Looks like the leak wouldn't be the typical crank sensor O-ring, or the crankcase vent hose under the frame behind the headstock. So much for the easy stuff! Definitely get a good look above the front subframe connection to be sure there is no way the oil is dropping down there from above (ie: oil cooler line). Otherwise, I do recall a member who had a cracked timing chest. Let me see if a proper application of Remembery Fluid will help me find that thread . . .

I was thinking you had some big cojones doing a complete resto on a V11. . . . . . . . then you started making your own gasoline.

Yeah - these guys hardly ever post (more than a few) pictures of goofy stunts one might perform at Spine Raid . . .

Hey! My Guzzi resembles that remark!

Quercus, thanks for checking in. You're in the right place to sort your Sport! First order of business is to clean up the mess and apply an even coat of spray-on foot powder. Go for a short ride and look for the discoloration from the oil leak. Thar she blows! There are three or four common places up there to address, so lets see if we can narrow it down from the beginning. (Maybe post a wee pic of the wet spot once it fouls the powder).

Ah, man! That is excellent! I love the background music. Especially starting with what sounds like AWB "Pick Up the Pieces (uh-huh!)"

Ok, good! Be sure to state the year model of your LeMans . . .

That's cold, man . . .

Pi: Are these the screws that hold the canisters to the passenger footpeg hanger?

So, is the light back to normal?

this! thanks guys That! And a ground strap to bare metal on the timing cover.

There is a whole thread started by Denis how various forum members remove ethanol from closed containers . . .

Hahhaa! What's a few mm between friends?

I think you have to set those preferences in your profile. Check there. Certainly nothing I would have changed with my limited wizardry.

Not sure what you mean by "email alerts?" Here are the links you had posted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120517170037AAlSJvz

Interesting: on your pics on the other thread, the stalks look horizontal. Must be 36+ inches tip to tip?

So, your new mirrors are a vast styling improvement over the boxy ones shown in the "action shot." They look more like they belong on a BMW . . .
