Hey thanks XJ550H! Is that a parts diagram for an X? When I look at the parts diagram for an 85 maxim X on partzilla, it is not showing an o-ring.
This is where I have a fuel leak. I just completed my valve adjustment, got carbs back and now leaking. [ATTACH]
This is exactly what I did and a good thing too! One of my exhaust shims state 195 on it but is actually a 192, would have put me real lost to...
Awesome guys! Thank you for all your help! As you can probably tell, I have never done something like this. I really appreciate all the help.
That's what I'm having a problem with, micrometer is too big to fit inside of the shim.
I have the under bucket shims, would I measure them tge same?
Work never ends :) I have micrometer, but how do measure them? I have to measure from where the valve seats to the top of the shim, correct?
Thanks Tony! That was my initial thought, to get closer to the max tolerance for that reason but wasn't sure if that was a good thing to do.
I wish, I don't have the room for the toys that I havenow. You did a great job on her! Hope she goes to a good home.
Very Nice bike!
Okay, I have all my measurements. When it comes to being in spec, is it better to be closer to min or maximum tolerances?[ATTACH]
Yes it does! Thanks Tony! Now I am trying to get the cams out, is it a must to remove the cam sprockets?
Thanks Timbox! I am a little nervous about the cams! I am going to remove them tonight, I ran out of time last night.
Thanks Guys! I have finished my measurements, they are all out of spec. Intake are from .06 -.09 Should be .11-.20 Exhaust ran from .15-.18...

I have the right feeler gauge, when I rotate the crank 180 degrees to measure clearance of cylinder 2 where do I stop the crank? There isn't any...
When rotating the crank 180 degrees, what did you line the 'T" up with when measuring cylinder 2?
Great! Thanks k-moe
Thanks guys! Any ideas where I can order or get a feeler guage that would be thin enough?
Hey everyone! I am trying to measure valve clearance on my 1985 maxim x, but my feeler guage is to wide to fit between the cam caps. Can I remove...
That's where I went wrong, I bought some on Amazon and assumed they would come with them but didn't.
I appreciate the quick response k-moe, but there isn't any sizes in this thread. I am looking for the actual size of those o rings. If you or...
Does anyone know the size of the 2 oil filter o-rings for 85 86 maxim xj700x?
