I have a 2001 600f4i.. its leaking oil from the oil housing?( not sure if thats the proper term) .. i know i can fix it but i dont know what apoxi to use or the tork specs..

 

All that information should be located in your manual. If you don't have one, you can easily buy one off the internet or, if you look hard enough, download one for free.

I'm pretty big on letting people do things themselves, because it stays with them. So here's what I'd do.

1. Go to a site like Partzilla.com and locate the year and make of your bike. They have parts diagrams for each and every area of the bike. Pull up the one that has to do with the area that you're talking about. For a car, it would be the crankcase or oil pan - I'm honestly not sure what it would be for a bike, but I'd assume it would be some facsimile thereof.

2. On the diagram, locate the names of the parts and gaskets associated with the problem area you're talking about, then at least you'll know what it is they are called and will have the part numbers should you need to order them. Chances are you'll need a new gasket.

3. Then it will be much easier to find the torque specs by searching online, or be better able to communicate with the parts guy at a dealership what it is you want to know. Or, if you have a manual, you can pretty much skip all that because the repair diagrams with the torque specs and specific brand of epoxy will be found therein.


For epoxy I can just about guarantee they will tell you to use HondaBond. It's what Honda always reccomends for gasket epoxy, however it is also about $15 a tube. Permatex makes similar high-quality gasket sealers that will do the same thing, they're just cheaper. However, there is a possibility they call for something different for a bike due to the higher RPMs and stress a streetbike motor typically endures. But I doubt it.


Honestly I don't know the torque specs for your bike, I don't even know mine off the top of my head. But that information is relatively easy to find and would probably take me 5 or 10 minutes to look them up. But I think getting a manual or at least knowing how to find that info from the internet will be far more valuable to you rather than me doing the legwork and finding it for you.


Heck, you prolly could just type something like "06 cbr600f4i torque specs" or 06 honda f4i crankcase torque specs" into google and find it no problem.

 

Thanks.. google works ... just needed other opinions of knowledge
