I know oil is tougher to discuss than politics but I always ran Bel-Ray. Reading through some old threads it would seem that Bel-ray isn't the best option. Any reccendations for the lower end oil? Brand and viscosity? I want to pre lube the tranny when I put it back together.

Good call by sandblaster on lapping until the cases are completely tight. A few things I noticed were that my cases were cupped and I had to lap a good bit until the middle of the cases were tight. You can tell the spots that are not connecting by the color of the lapping compound. I mixed mine with a red atf making a pale orange color. The spots on the cases that were making contact turned black right away and the spots that weren't were still orange. I also tried several different application methods and found a large plastic syringe to be the way to go as there was minimal waste running down the side of the cases
sandblaster:
Great applicator idea...
I'll be using that in the future :lol:

I have tons of them say the word and I'll send a few your way.

my best experience i had with "motul transoil" it has also the right additives for a better clutch-working and thats important for bikes with much hp and torque, that the clutch never slip ... :-)
