  1. That's the right torque for the Engine - Header/exhaust Perfect, thank you for confirming. I finished up installing the updated oil pan last night and was unsure of this spec to re-install the exhaust.
  2. Can someone confirm that this is the torque for the Engine - Header/exhaust torque? Thanks!
  3. Yesterday/Today I replaced the oil pan with updated unit. Documenting in thread here: http://fj-09.org/post/38563/thread
  4. Ok Folks, I started this process last night and wanted to add a couple of points that might aid others. Here we go: Before beginning - I ordered the updated pan, a couple of spare drain plug crush washers (to have on hand) AND most importantly, an extra oil pan gasket... more on that later. Gasket is part number 1RC-13414-00-00 Parts: I do not have one of those fancy spool lifts, so I used the center stand. No need to remove either tires, you can access the header bolts easily. The OP did this as he was replacing the oil soaked ones. I did not remove the Oxygen sensor from the exhaust. Instead, I disconnected the clip. This is done in 2 steps, one is removing the connection-clip and the second is disconnecting. Where the connection is mounted to the bike, pull up on the insulator cover, then push the top part in and pull up This will remove the entire connection from it's mount: This is the connection the above clip will be pulled from. It is tight, but it can be removed Then push away on the tab and pull the O2 connection out. The O2 connection has already been removed in this pic, but it will show where to push on the clip: -After that, I removed the nuts from the header pipe, and the 2 by the muffler/cat. I then put some news paper on the center stand bar and let the muffler rest on it. you do not need to remove it or need much clearance. I then proceeded to remove all of the bolts that held the pan in place and drop the pan. With minimal clearance, you are able to guide the pan out (from the left side as sitting on the bike) because one of the fins allows the oil pick-up tube to pass right by. Be sure you also remove the oil level sensor (guessing that's what it is??) from the left side as well. This is all the clearance I needed to remove/install the pan Now, remember where I mentioned that gasket? When I dropped the pan, half of the gasket stuck to the bottom of the block and was a big mess! I used some old T-shirt cut up and wrapped around the end of a screw-driver handle and carefully removed all of the material. This was really the most time consuming part of the whole deal. After that, the new gasket/pan slid into place. Don't forget to re-install the sensor. I will need to finish tightening everything up and re-install the exhaust tonight. Also, be sure you remove the key from the ignition and put a note that says "ADD OIL" on it so you don't forget once everything is back together!! Great instructions by the OP, just wanted to add a few things. Hope this helps someone else. Robb UPDATE: Buttoned everything up last night. I used a floor jack to help stabilize the exhaust, seemed to work out well.
  5. Thank you for the write up (and especially the pics). Just ordered my parts to complete this.
