Hello all;

Oil drain bolt and washer, are the these the two drain points at the front of the engine? look like tappet covers only smaller and made of very soft ally with a sealing o ring. the ones on mine did not survive the removal and i shall need some new ones.

cheers in advance

Hey Capt.

It would help if we knew which bike ur working on.  But I suspect that the plugs you removed are the oil gallery plugs and not the oil pan drain plug.  Sounds like you need to replace the gallery plugs  them look for the drain plug on the front leading edge of the oil pan.

its a 550 k3.  Steve in the UK already gave the part name, but thanks

about those those bearing shells?

Honda color codes the bearing shells by color.  Each color will give a certain clearance with the crank and rods.
