Bandit 600 oil pump outlet pipes

[Ade]

How expensive is it to have the outlet pipes at the front of the motor replaced? My friend came round and asked me to look for an oil leak and it looks to be one of the outlet pipes.

I haven't done one before so I'd thought I'd ask for advice.

It looks to be at the base of the right hand (as you look at it) one, the gear side of the motor. The other side is dry but both look corroded so I said to have both replaced at once.

Afraid it is a head of job.

 

While it's off it would be rude not to:

refresh valve stem seals,

clean and skim head,

clean and grind valves,

replace head gasket,

check valves for clearances .

 

If you are on a non- existent / very tight budget.. ignore the leak or bodge it with some sealant until funds allow for it.

 

Altenatively... this could be THE moment to step up and fit a gsxr750 or bigger lump (might even be cheaper)

First check the oil is coming from  the drain  pipe oil seals and not from the plug tunnel drain hole which is in that vicinity. it is easy to mistake the location and if its just one of the rocker box seals leaking down the tunnel its very easy to do.

Like blubber said if its the drain, tubes head off..

If he's really unlucky the oil return pipes will be seized in the cases, like the slab I'm working on
