You might not need 6 if so order one 3 pack. I have 2 bikes use the same filter and I ride a lot of miles so use a lot of filters.
Crush washer I get at Honda car dealership for about 1/4 the price
14 mm crush washer I think used on all Accords and Civics
Part number 94109- 14000 I believe.
Yup. I use only Honda oil filters. Hope this fixes the problem.
Never had that issue..but when riding season starts I will check it. Thanks...
The shop manual gives quite a lot of torque for the OEM oilfilter: 26 Nm.
The HIFLO HF204, which I have as a substitute here on my desk says: 8-12 Nm.
Hm.
I seem to recall 19 ft lbs as the torque spec in the manual? Popgun?
13 ft lbs, Ferret. According to your post in the Torque Settings thread I linked to above.
You got it Mr. Ferret. The manual lists it as 19 ft. Lbs or 26Nm or 2.7Kgf m. And apply oil to threads and o-ring.
How do you get your iPad to not capitalize after a period? Like when you type ft. Lbs
have you got an engibe vibration issue , such as loose engine bolts or loose exhaust header bolts. I had a vibration issue on my kawasaki and it turned out to be both . tightened everything up and the mild vibration went away
Update. It's not leaking because it backed out as I assumed, It's leaking because the oil filter FAILED.
The K&N, as already noted, has a (not 17mm(wrench too big) and not 16mm(wrench too small), dunno WTF it actually is, not SAE either) nut on the front that is press riveted onto a plate on the face of the oil filter, THAT is where it is leaking from.
I have the Yoshimura hand bent exhaust, and it is less then a quarter inch from the nut on the filter, I am now guessing that due to thermal transferrence, the riveted part seperates and Woila! Leak!
Now you know.
Last time, I replaced the filter with another K&N I already had rather then just re-tightening and hoping it would work.
So, lesson learned.
Bugger, now I need an oil filter 'now'..
Get Ye to the dealer NOW! LOL
