Down pipes are blowing, is this a good deal for replacement?

I've heard good things about those, personally I chose these

Good finish, good clean fit, clean up well after a winter of neglect.


Hope that helps

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 22-03-14

Did they come with gaskets as in my link or where those extra

Re: Down pipes - fazerboy01 - 22-03-14

yeah, came with all 5 gaskets. Only word of advice I'll give is if your changing them, start soaking the header nuts/studs in "Plus Gas" now, about twice a day or more untill you do the job. It'll possibly save you the greif of snapping studs, which is a pain.



Re: Down pipes - hightower - 22-03-14

I've got some good stuff I use - not sure what it is exactly, a friend gave me a jam jar of it - it break the rust down somehow.


So, Sandy or Delkevic is the question - if you say they come with everything needed to fit?

Re: Down pipes - Skippernick - 22-03-14

The Delkevic's appear to come with the balance pipes between 1+2 and 3+4, which is good, like the originals.

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 22-03-14

Ok, ordered the Delkavic. Will start the releasing fluid on them today.

Re: Down pipes - fazerboy01 - 29-03-14

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 29-03-14

Snapped one stud, so need to get that out, but not today as heading up to Glasgow to see paolo nutini with the missus. Paolos good but I'd rather get the bike sorted lol

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 30-03-14

So as you can see, my bike is in pieces. Which means one thing, when I went to get the snapped stud out I made it worse, snapping it flush with the head. I know on #3 people say you can drill it in situ, but for ease I decided to start and strip, and also plan on painting while it's off - it's long overdue for that lol!

So tonight I got down to getting the top cam guide off. I'd been at it a few hours and decided to stop so I don't rush and make a hash if things. The hardest part was getting the tank off. I've got a full tank and my fuel tap doesn't shut it off hehe.

Anyway, I don't think it will take much longer now to get the head out. The carbs were slow work.

I need to take front cam guide out next but couldn't see how - any helpers?

Re: Down pipes - red98 - 30-03-14

front cam tensioner does come out but its tight for room....think i may have looseded the rad bolts to make it easier........that a 70s z200/250 you got there ?

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 30-03-14

It's an '82 z440 (see sig for project, although not done anything with it yet due to Fazer issues).


Wondering where to buy my replacement gaskets. What gaskets will I need, a head and a valve? ANything else?

Re: Down pipes - red98 - 30-03-14

just the head gasket,bought one a while back for £30,wemoto i think,are the exhaust gaskets re-useable ?


ah a 440....dont see them anymore  Wink

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 30-03-14

The exhaust gaskets came with stainless pipes, so that's ok. I don't need a gasket for valve cover? What about cam tensioner? Nothing else, just head - that makes it easier.


Yeah - they tend to be popular in America, not so much UK. I got it for £350, runs (needs starter motor), but plan on stripping it right down and turning it in to a brat.

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 30-03-14

What size helicoil kit would I want when I drill it? This one?


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25-Piece-Helicoil-Thread-Repair-Kit-M8-x-1-25-x-10-8mm-/271245164223


Or an M6?

Re: Down pipes - red98 - 30-03-14

think iam right in saying....M6 for 600...M8 for 1000....can someone confirm  Wink

Re: Down pipes - red98 - 30-03-14

valve cover is rubber so re-useable........just had a peek at your blog,nice looking bike that...good luck with the build  Wink

Re: Down pipes - hightower - 30-03-14

Thanks buddy. More worried about Fazer for now - first time I've gone so deep in to its innards. Nerve racking.
