Re: 97 850 R Hood fitment

Is it possible the used radiator header I installed was warped inward, not allowing headlamps to stick out far enough?? Oh and, bump.

IMAG0221.jpg IMAG0221.jpg Hello all 850 R owners, finally getting around to replacing the hood on my brick. The old one had taken it on the chin from a minor run in with a pick up.

Re: 1997 850R Compression test results

Update
Oil changed to Castrol GTX 10-40 with a quart of 15-40, smoke is very minimal now, i.e. driveable.
Headed out to find a coolant compression tester next.
Thanks for all who weighed in, with your advice and ideas.
Just think if government worked this well...
Will update after test.
