I forgot to mention the dry cranking, that certainly wont help. As you say I wouldnt say it is needed unless the car has sat for a while. Unplugging the crank sensor (2 pin plug coming out of the gene...

@pugdaddy Ideally yes but have a measure up and see if you can confirm which part is worn the most!

Unfortunately you can get wear here that allows them to blow, the easiest but most expensive way is to replace the required parts. If you can find a local exhaust manufacture they maybe able to reshap...

Interesting that Motul are discontinuing the 15W-50, not something I was aware of. @rjbender interesting info reference our conversation, might explain why they have the change in recommendation. I am...

I don't believe that pinout has changed in general in terms of coils, spark, injectors etc. The plug you refer to will be for the paddle shift I believe which may not be detailed in early diagrams. If...

@smoothcriminal Not good to see! Do you have any history on the engine, like when it was rebuilt? Who buy? Did it have a seal on it? There does not look to be any detonation that I can see in those p...

@meatman Agreed, no balance weight. You should just be able to bolt it in place as detailed above, this will just hold it in place.

@meatman as long as you don't have the balance weight in there and its just the shaft (with oil feed blocked off) then you need to refit that part, otherwise the shaft will come out and cause a big oi...

@meatman that is the clamp for the balance weight shaft, should be installed on the front of the engine. Balance weights are not used but the shaft has the oil feed blocked and this clamped installed ...

Early Busa's (99-01) didn't have these washers fitted as standard but everything else did. Radical leave them in everything and fit them to engines without them to assist. Having said that you should ...

@meatman Your clutch slave cylinder mounts through those bolt holes. Noted that there is no output shaft seal there (plus spacer)? It gets clamped between the crankcases so needs to go in before the ...

Not ideal Clark! Sounds to me like either the sump fitting was not tight enough or the oil pipe was last done up cross threaded. If it was me I would continue to wind the pipe out with fitting and dra...

@meatman From what I can see in those pictures all 3 of them visually look ok.

@meatman Radical already do their own version of this that is fitted as standard to all the engines they build. If yours does not already have them fitted it is another sign that it was not built by ...

Need to speak to a Radical engine builder/RLM. You need a Gen 2 clutch basket with correct clutch mods, OEM Suzuki clutch plates with Radical spec heavy duty clutch springs. Centre hub also needs to b...
