The Voyager Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Hi. I am just looking through many snap shots of when I stripped my bike down, as I am currently rebuilding it now, I took many photos as you do, most of them useless now as I am custom building and have removed a lot of stock parts. But on one image I notice the V-TWIN engine is on it's side, most probbaly for a good 10 - 15 mins, the oil was not drained at this point, the v-twin has been upright ever since for about 12 months now (bloody long project I know).So will this be ok? As in the oil can't leak upwards (or sideways in this case) can it?Thanks for your help. Quote
Tango Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Pull the plugs out and crank the engine over and see if any oil comes out the plug holes...... Quote
Fozzie Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 As Bob said,But also, if the engine is out of the bike just pull the plugs and then touch cables from a battery to the positive and negative of the starter motor. Just turn it over for 2 seconds, any crap will be sprayed out at pressure if there is any in there. Quote
