Re: Doing push rod tube seals-need advice
I haven’t taken the oil pan off yet, so I haven’t decided completely whether to put the pan extension on it or not. I see that I does come with the extension for the pickup, so that shouldn’t be an issue should I go that route. I understand the benefits of having the deeper sump, and it does look kind “cool” under there, but again, I’m concerned with doing too much to this bike to take away from its originality. From my research, and from reading what the “experts” on Bring A Trailer say, a 74 R90S that is original is the Holy Grail of R90S’s, and I don’t want to do anything to take away from that. When I do my restorations on my Honda’s I make sure to use every factory part I possibly can. Every nut and bolt comes from Honda and has the correct markings on it. With that being said, adding stainless steel brake lines, modern tires, etc. is perfectly acceptable, and this oil pan extension probably is also. I’ll have to give this some more thought…
By the way… I found a tube of Yamabond in my stash of sealants, so that’s what I used on this engine. Hopefully all will be well. I have FAITH!
Thanks also for the recommendation about the Boxer people in Hendersonville, NC. I will definitely be checking into them!
I do have a question about cleaning up the finish on the heads and the valve covers, but I think I’ll start a new thread on this to maybe get some good ideas.
Thanks again, Guys! You’re helping me more than you know!
