Spaz Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 A few night ago went out to the garage, and lifted the motor out all alone. That wasn't too bad and my back has yet to hurt. Now it is time to pull "that box" from base and start prepping it. I just need to bring "that box" up from basement when the wife is not around, she does not know I stored the replacement motor in the furnace room.

Found out last night the wife has know what is in the box in the basement. She just choose to ignore it. The motor is just a stock CBR 900 RR replacement for the motor that has a nice viewing window in the block. Next step is to take the up-rate clutch, adapter driveshaft thingy off the old and put on the new motor, and add my nice new baffle plate so this hopefully doesn’t happen again.

Dave W Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Josh Before you put in the baffles, get a section of piano hinge. Then add a few holes to the bottom of the baffles, then screw the hinge over them so it allow the oil to flow towards the oil pick-up screen while cornering. You do not want to do this again. could get a little $$$ Dave W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Dry sump it! http://hanksmegabusa.com/images/121508/03.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hank, I would love to dry sump it, but that is a bit over my locost budget. The guys that race in the 750 Motor Club, RGB Class C (Carb'ed Fireblades) say you are good to go with just a plate and overfill the oil just a little bit. Also I do not have overall height of the engine problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I replied directly to you before I looked on the forum. This explains the design. It's a tray type. That should work pretty good. Thanx for the picture Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 That's just the plastic pieces in the pick up, I bet you find a lot more in a complete stripe down. Any idea what it is from? Dave W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 My guess is it is Permatex High-Temp Red RTV Silicone Gasket that came down from the valve cover. I have not had time to open up the valve cover to make sure. But I think this is what happened when one gets a little to heavy handed with the Silicone Gasket.
