HOW TO INSTALL SPARK PLUGS ON A 2007 SUZUKI GS500F ZIP
I had to make sure the camchain didnt slip into the engine, so i zip tied it to the block. There is one spacer on each camshaft, on the left side. Once the caps are off the camshafts come off very easily. They had to be unscrewed a little at a time to keep them from binding. They are secured by 2 black bolds on each cap.
Now the caps need to come off that are holding the camshafts down. The RT | line needs to line up with the left pulse generator, I marked it with a sharpie. It uses a 19mm socket, i just used a crescent wrench.

to do that, i had to take the pulse generator cover off, and rotate the camshaft manually. Once that is off it gives access to the camchain and camshafts.īefore I could take the camshafts out I had to remove the front camchain guide, and the camchain tensioner.Īlso had to rotate the camshaft. the four large ones will need new o-rings and the valve cover gasket will need to be replaced. There are 4 large bolts and 2 smaller ones. Zip ties, tape, shop towels, & gallon ziplock bags to keep everything separate.įirst I had to take off the valve cover. I got a bunch of stuff at target before this.Įngine Degreaser to make sure its clean before i start taking it apart so nothing falls in the engine. 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.

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 ? 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!
