You need to pinch the rear brake hose when you are monkeying around with the pork chops ( I still don't know what I was up to ) and take off down the road . Yeehaaa ! You get two results , no rear brake n then rear brakes that won't release .......

Cosmo , the traditional computer controlled fuel/ignition systems have two categories of operation . 1 open loop . the computer runs the system in a fixed parameter according to "some" inputs and a designed program of operation . 2 closed loop . this is when a computer system reaches a target through coolant or engine temperature to begin making decisions on ignition timing , fuel (amount)delivery , etc..... 3 closed loop on your vehicle equipped with oxygen sensors . When a vehicle reaches operating temperature where the oxygen sensor(s) can start being the final authority on what has taken place in the combustion process .

Sorry . Out of production ?

I do know this much , we all need a blown up wiring diagram next to us while we are on this forum .

Is that a S/D oil pan ?

Keep the VStrom . The object is to keep them , not get rid of them .

Hey , diesel oils for diesel engines and gas oils for gas engines . All that stuff on the top of that can (when they were cans) means something . I m looking at oils made from natural gas just "for entertainment purposes only" .

I found out about this man about 9 mos. ago while I was in CD warehouse at Cape Girardeau . Playing through the speakers was what sounded like a garage band playing Shake Your Moneymaker . As crummy as the recording was , I purchased the copy from the store and listened to this racket EVER since. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac at the Marquee Club . Unfortunately , he passed away July 25 of this year . His music ( and I have worn YouTube out ) is/was/will always be some of the best ever recorded . I am sorry I did not post a video , but I can't find one good enough to post w/out deciding "this one is better" . RIP , Peter Green .

I am going to advertise ......... FYI , If you have carpal tunnel problems , a chiro can fix it if it is not too far gone . If you have the surgery , you will be "fixed" but you not be able to pick up the carton of milk either .

14 ? Did they make a show about you starring Lee Majors ?

Was this a good strange or a bad strange ?

Dissected aortas , detached retinas , cartilage gone ............ Every man has his Kryptonite . Last year I dropped my V-Strom under the carport . after 4 attempts to get it up , one of my neighbors picked it up like it was a bicycle . 4 chiro visits later , I know better !

Buddy , I hope you find a way to change your mind

Mmmm . my Greenie does this and as soon as I get it fixed I will let you know ! At 30 mph or so , in town it is pathetic . Under acceleration , highway speed or anything else : PERFECT

I bought a Timesert thread repair kit for 5.4 Ford trucks that blow out spark plugs . $$$$$ It is a bulletproof kit . GM approves Timesert for Cadillac ( the worst junk rolling ) head bolt repairs . Fastenal sells a repair kit too . The 6mm kit is a plug that uses a 1/4 20 tap to install . BTW , I am the king of twisting off , stripping / crossing / boogering up threads .

You're never done w/a Mustang ..........

Timesert is a plug , and Helicoil is a spiral thread kit and looks like a spring . Are you sure the screws are not too long ? There is nothing soft about the cylinder head threads . People install the wrong length screws and trouble happens or try to torque these screws to 25 ft.lbs. . Please treat these like Phillips head screws when you tighten them .

Nothing , put 'em in and snug them up. snug , not loose and not too tight .

I would put an amount of electrical grease in the cavities before plugging it up for a perfect connection .

when you do this you will need a clutch alignment tool and clean all unpainted parts in this assy. prior to going back together .

And they are shitty . Guaranteed to break and fuel up your boot at the wrong time .

Enjoy brother ! You will love this .

sump'ns goin' on !

Whatever you do , make sure you correct the problem before going down the road and hauling it back with the same problem(s) ! I think what ever rotor you come up with you can swap the rotor only instead of the entire assy. I think these spools are removable and the rotor can be swapped . These should be clean and spin kinda easy .

Hopefully everyone knows the smaller #s will be intake clearance and the larger #s are the exhaust clearance because of the hotter components and will expand taking up clearance .
