Oil, oil pumps and primary chains
Spitfire:
Still use Duckhams 20/50, change the oil and filter every 1000 miles. Although that Tesco oil that Bryan mentioned sounds interesting.

I'll stay out of the car oil debate, had a few arguments on other forums about it..... but do you have a link to the place selling primary chain and tensioner kits? They may be of interest to owners of the bikes that don't have one like the 550.
Graeme77:
Ill try and find the link again, but the 'kit' was just the chains and tensioner together, for the cb750.
Tesco diesel oil?
That'll be for cars then ;)
I did google about car oil but didnt find much, ill look again.

you say you have the clymer manual, watch out, for the Torque on the oil filter housing bolt, If I am remembering correct the clymer gives it as something reall y really WRONG, like ridiculously high...
You do not want to strip that bolt..
Be carefull with it, the correct torque is 20 - 24 ftlbs.
hope this helps.

Thanks, i tend to use the factory manual anyway.
My oil filter bolt has a 21m nut welded on it! Was pretty tight LOL.
Im not a big fan of torque settings anyway. The only things i torque are heads, flywheels, con rods, rockers, things like that. Anything else gets done how i want it done. I'd rather trust my experience, gut instinct and the feel of it on everything else.
I dont even torque clutch bolts :o
I guess alot of folk will laugh at that, but ive never had any problems in 17 years of re-building and modifying old engines, even on ones converted to turbo and running high PSI figures.
