Yep I found them and drained them

After doing all this I decided to do the valve seals and cams. I removed the head in order to do this. Have a look at the state if the head gaskets. [ATTACH]79609[/ATTACH]

Ok so I got one of the heads off and now I'm waiting for the parts to put it together. Wasn't that hard after all. Not sure if I should bother cleaning the carbon off the pistons?[ATTACH]79176[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79177[/ATTACH][ATTACH]79178[/ATTACH]

Is there a link for the cylinder pressure ?
-
I will change out the valve seals whilst I'm at it.
-
Makes sense. I have never pulled the heads of anything so I'm almost looking forward to the challenge. I h

I guess the pistons are in the upper position so the valves can't fall through. I think I going take the cylinder heads of anyway. I have ordered some head gaskets I just hope that I can do it with the engine in the frame.
-
Are the valves not in the closed position already?
-
Can't wait to get this finished should feel like a new bike.
Ok so I have the dynatek in and the carby. I have already purchased the springs with all the other bits but having a really hard time getting them in. Are there any tricks with getting them on without taking the engine out or the heads off, that's if I can get the heads off without taking the engine out?
Any ideas?

Im thinking of doing this upgrade just need to know. If I swap out the cams on a 97 Royal Star, will I need to change the springs over as well?
-
Will it be ok not to change the springs, as I cant compress them down with the engine still on the bike.

I found mine in the boot after taken the tyre down.

Thanks to you all for your help. Last week I had a chance to spend a day on the bike so I decided to do the required work to get this leak fixed. I refurbished the pump as well as the breather as it was only a small difference in price. When I pulled it apart I think that it was the breather as the o rings were almost flat and I think they have been leaking very slowly for a long time. The pump seals were a bit worn but I think they were still holding up. Hopefully I will get the new carbies on in the next few weeks and I can take it for a ride.

In Australia NSW it's $900 this year with compulsory insurance and its going up to $1200 next year for a 1300cc. We ride all year round here but most of the above cost is the insurance for harm to other people?

I thought I had a noisy engine but in the end I checked all the bolts and it was the front break caliper. One of the bolts was loose but it sounded like it was coming from the engine. I tightened all the bolts and the noise went away.

Its funny when I did my initial search on this in the forum only the plug results came up and now underneath the posts there are at least 3 links showing on this topic. After reading more into it it would seem to be the pump seal.
-
I haven't dumped the oil yet but will do so today and there was no bubbling in the reservoir.
So It could well be the pump seals, would these be parts no 8 and 7 in the attached diagram or do I need something else to do the job?
-
Ok well I will go with the gasket just ordered a set from thumpertalk. I will start pulling the bike apart today and get it ready. Means I probably won't get a ride until after Easter. I'm still waiting for a mate to make up the adapters for the 32 mm carbies so I guess I might need to give him a bit of push to get them done.
-
Yeah I don't remember seeing the plugs under the fins either
-
That sux. Ok so even if it is the Twinkie the gasket is more than likely faulty. If there is a crack would I be able to see it?
-
I have oil in my coolant! I have read up on it here and apparently it could be as simple a fix as changing the plugs under the fins? Is this true? I am going to do the vmax cam upgrade and carburetor ugrade soon so I will have it pulled apart, should I check for any other problems that might be leading to the oil/water mix?

The flange goes on the inside of the hub.
I have oil in my coolant!

I would have to look into this as you would imagine the coolant would be designed not to react with the alloys. I changed the coolant probably once every two years or when I could be bothered.
