Ok, so first, I applied the Loctite 222MS on the ProTi Titanium Bolt that hold the hose to the engine crankcase and tightened it to 10Nm:
Then I tightened the hose end going to the oil cooler with a special set of open ended wrench and torque wrench to 15Nm (setting the compensation for the extra length in my Snap-On torque wrench offset system of course):
Then I also "spaced" the 2 hoses using the Setrab Billet Aluminum Hose Separator and also using that longer non-metric hex socket bolt:
And here how they looks like installed:
Now time to fill back the oil I had been draining a few months ago:
Then I started the engine... wow... I missed the sound of this engine... so angry yet melodious
I then checked to make sure no oil leak and everything is good.
Now, I remember a few months ago, @bp_SFV4 was reminding me that my Rizoma turn signal located near the edge of the Termignoni silencers could be damaged from the hot exhaust gas.
I finally had a chance to test this by turning on the engines for around 5 minutes and bp_SFV4 is correct that it will be too hot for those Rizoma turn signal (at least will mare the anodized surface of it).
It was ok today, but I would like to make sure if someday I turn on the engine for a lot longer time (or riding it someday
) it will be ok.
So I am going to purchase the super short Rizoma mounting adapter FR440B made of Polymer and will ceramic coated it for further protection from heat.
Note that I don't need to use the extension tube and only need to use that "L" shaped housing so it will be super short:
and then use it with my Rizoma FR070BM that I already have (originally bought for the front turn signal) to test fit and make sure it is far enough from the exhaust gas flow.
If everything is good, then I just going to buy another FR070BM for the front turn signal.
Here are the comparison:
Too bad, I really love the Red Rizoma Corsa Turn Signal shape and color... but like anything in life, things does not work they way you want it to
Of course, it this still doesn't work there are always other solutions... I just too lazy (and to busy at work) to design another custom machined bracket for now
