Title: TB Crash Bars
Post by: cdubya on September 03, 2010, 04:40:09 AM
While we are on the topic...
Just purchased a Girly.  Sweet!
Noticed a couple of oil leaks.  Figured, aw, just a gasket or something.  No worries, I'll fix 'er up when I get 'er home.
Upon further inspection, the oil is coming from the lower bolt holes of the engine case.  Crazy!  Looks like the bars weren't installed properly.  No washers to shim the bars up to the engine case and no silicone rtv.  Looks to me like without the washers, the lower crash bar mounting plate cannot mount flush with the case to pull evenly and to seal properly.
Any one else see this and have any advice?  The bars are bomber and quite handy but oil leaking from both sides is no bueno.
Thanks.
