I installed my SBT 657 a few years ago and it was a great experience. It was easy to do and it has run like a top ever since. I would deffinately do it again!
This year when I was getting it ready for the new season I removed the spark plugs and cycled the engine and there was a geyser of oil that came out of it. (I mean a LOAD!) After searching the SBT forum I learned about the problem of oil "eating" through the gasket in the Bottom End filling the cylinder, due to extended storage. I am in the midst of removing the engine to replace the gasket (I'll be buying my gasket kit from SBT)... Is there anything else that I should be concerned about now that oil has flooded the cylinder (s?).
Will there be any problems with the main bearing seals?
I suppose that it would also be a good time to install the SBT Oil Block off kit as the machine isn't getting any younger and it's a matter of time now?
Any other advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SJ
