The only reason why the pans HAVE to be replaced is because of the clearance. The Microsprint guys ran stock pans and oil systems in all the Honda F2/F3 motors with no bottom end failures, and they run modified alky motors. The latest style road race motors use a very deep pan to prevent oil starving when the bike is leaned way over... There are several billet and modified stock pans that are available for the 600 motors. If you had no rule regarding oil systems, it would be to your advantage to run a dry sump, they make better power. CR

Just add this to you total cost of owning a bike motor. Jim ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
