Parts should be in in about a week and i’ll start documenting my time putting it back together and anything that happens along the way.Ĭomments : 4 Comments » Categories : Uncategorized So i ordered all my gaskets & O-rings from the suzuki dealer, because apparently theres no aftermarket ones according to the cycle shop i went to.
How to install spark plugs on a 2007 suzuki gs500f manual#
So I decided the only thing i can really do is put the engine back together with new gaskets to be sure theres no oil leaking, new plugs, new sprockets, and maybe even a manual cam chain tensioner to try to get rid of the knock/tick.
Hear that constant ticking? pretty sure thats what mine is doing…Ĭouple posts talking about the same problem Which apparently is common in the GS500 engine. The research that i found leads me to believe its cam end float. So I decided since the rods are fine, and the pistons seem ok.
That was all, i cut my hand and called it quits for the day. also, each follower is specific to its location to allow the valves to have proper clearance, so i had to make sure i didnt mix them up. This was a pain in the butt, and i made some notches in the metal…this needed a TON of oil and finagling to get them to go in. It looked like the outer rounded bolt caps were longer than the ones inside, so i made sure not to mix them up.Īfter thats tightened, i had to tighten the front bolt. I have a torque wrench, but the specs are all in NM and mine is Ft Lbs. if it did i dont know what the consequences are, and will prolly find out quickly.Īfter that i need to tighten it down. the piston rings had to be aligned in a certain way, and i hope that when i lowered the head down and pinched the rings in so they would go in, it didnt screw the alignment up. I got the block on and the chain is tied up with a tie down.Ĭouple things about putting the head back on. I put the new gasket on, and tied the cam chain up so when i mount the block it doesnt fall through 😦īut the next part was getting the head/block back on. I had a hard time taking photos, because it was hard to do on my own. getting the second circlip on was a pain once its on the rod, not a whole lot of room Oiled up the piston pin and popped the piston on the rod. Now first things first, have to put the pistons back on the connecting rods, using the 4 new circlips i got 🙂 Next, using a plug wrench, tighten the plug to the recommended torque or the recommended angle indicated in the table below.I got all my gaskets in, and I drove up north about 30 mins to get them, then 30 mins to get home to find that I was missing the 4 piston pin circlips…so i drove again, this time with more traffic!.When carrying out this work, hold the plug vertically, and then lightly tighten it by hand or by using a plug wrench.Before installing the plug, clean the mounting seat on the engine side, check that there is a gasket, and then insert the plug into the mounting seat.When carrying out this work, take steps to ensure that oil, dust and foreign objects in the vicinity of the cylinder head do not enter the engine.Use the correct wrench that matches the hex part of the plug.Conversely, if the torque is too high, the crimping between the insulator and the housing is liable to become loose, causing the integrity of the seal to be impaired or the mounting screw thread to break. Note that if the torque is too low, the plugs are liable to work loose due to leakage of combustion gas or vibration, resulting in possible damage to the engine and the plugs. It is necessary to install the plugs in the engine using the correct torque.
