You're getting ahead of yourself. Work put the problems first before you make changes that will effect jetting.

I actually don't think it will effect the jetting, This isn't a custom system, the collector is only 1 7/8" at the exit not 2 1/2" like the big boys. It might but I'm betting it's not going cause additional issues. The original headers were in worse condition than I thought. there were no bushings at all at any joint like they should be and if anything replacing system might help.

I'm a bit pissed. I was going to swap out oil pans but as was draining the oil I noticed that my replacement couldn't possibly fit. It doesn't have accommodation for the oil cooler or oil sensor. I bought a double oversized plug and copper crush washer and hope for the best.

But James, why don’t you take the original pan of and put a helicoil in and solve the problem for good.
You have already taken the headers of, go for it mate.

That was actually the plan. To avoid down time I was going to swap, build a 17-4 hardened stainless bushing install it and swap back. If I can't find a suitable replacement I'll do it when it turns cold.

I just went back to the listing that I bought the replacement from, Title says '82 GPz750, the fitment says KZ750N. We'll see how the return pans out.

Ebay? If so file a not as described in the case. You'll get your money.

Yep, got the ball rolling. I'm just wondering how cooperative the seller's going to be.

He has no choice.
Steve

Yep, just curious what the reaction's going to be.

I bought my duel disks for super cheap. Said they were sitting in a loft for 30 years. Rusty. Being they are SS I knew they would clean up. They did. Some SS does rust but not like steel. I happily put them on, they were warped. You wouldn't notice by looking so I filed a not as described. I got my money back, the shipping was more than the price of the disks. I waited for a shipping lable but the seller dropped out. He did this to someone else too. A POS rack for a Z1 I could see was bent, high shipping.
No one would touch these things. A friend has a machine shop in his garage and turned the hubs, the disks were fine. I could still feel a slight pulsing in my lever. I put the bike on the centerstand, took a old time compresser with a belt drive, used the pully on the motor to spin the wheel. I used a oil stone to smooth out the scuff marks on the disks. It took a while but now they are smooth and straight. They work great. I bought a spare just in case.
The guy knew what he was doing and hoped he found a pigeon. I would have sent them back if he wanted them. I always wanted to ask him, How'd it work out for you? :whistle:
Steve

Just got this;

Good afternoon,
Sorry that oil pan didn't work out. I sent a full refund including shipping. There is no need to send it back. 
Thanks,
Scott

The disk seller called me a "prickerd". :lol:
