Reading this made me think back to what I’d used. Last night I couldn’t for the life of me recall even though it was only a few months ago! But I now do; a walking stick rubber! It fit an absolute treat and almost looks OEM.
Blimey reading this post makes me think I should be doing mine ..she's up to 27k now... I feel the urge
Got the cam over off and greeted by the horrors around the bottom of the water pipes, grit and mess. Managed to pick out as much crap as I could before leaving it to dry, see if I can vacuum out the rest. I've bought some new o rings for the seals on them, does anyone take these out for cleaning, painting , etc? Also had to shell out for a new cam over gasket as Yamaha make the spark plug seals one piece with the cover, that's a rip off.Just started the valve clearance check, done no 1 cylinder, will post up readings for comment later.
What size blanking cap do you need? I have a couple of blanking caps that might fit, if you pm me your address I will post them to you for free.
A job well-jobbed as my dad would say. I've removed and refitted my cam cover gasket many times. Did yours tear when you removed it?
I usually use a micrometer to check the sizes as the etched numbers are not always exactly correct.
