kelpike Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 My 86 FJ1200 had an oil leak from the valve cover gasket. I replaced the gasket. Everytime I run the bike, it smokes like crazy. Is there an easy way to get the oil from the top of the motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shed hermit Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 is it all over the ouside of the engine? give it a good soaking with gunk and rub it in (on a cold engine!!) and then get the hose to it and give it a good wash (remove the HT caps and tie them up out of the way). blow any water out of the plug area with an air line and give the plugs/caps a spray of WD40 before fitting the caps.

kelpike Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yea its all around the fins on top of the motor. I was just a little reluctant to spraying any water around the top of the motor. I have wiped every area I could get to, its just hard getting in around the motor fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
