    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

blocking off the oil passages to the head on my gs1100

I picked up a top end oiling kit. I was told I can avoid oil leaks by blocking off the oil passage coming up from the cases and then block the oil passages going into the head with the kit installed. So basically no oil would go thru the block, but rather be fed to the top end by the top end oiling kit. Anyone ever done this or explain how best to do it .
 
Re: blocking off the oil passages to the head on my gs1100

A couple of the functions of oil are to lubricate the engine, clean it, and COOL it. Blocking off the cooling passages may not be a good idea. You would still need to leave the return passageways open. No oil going through the block doesnt sound like a good idea at all. Probably OK if the engine only has to last for one trip down the strip though. :-)

I agree with Earl dont block off the oil passages in the block, fit the topend oiler kit and allow it to return via the studs otherwise it will be forced to pool in the head over cylinders one and four and that is a lot of oil sitting in your head , it will cost significant HP, of cause once those areas are full and start overflowing it will run down the camchain tunnel to create a lot of extra drag on the crank again costing significant HP.

What about on a normal motor. The oil comes up those passages so they dont return oil to the bottom of the motor anyhow. Wouldn't blocking the passages make the oil return to the bottom of the motor the way a stock motor would? Keep it coming. I need more input...
