Anyone know a reasonably priced and reliable source for all of these nifty special tools:
09900-20202 Micrometer (25-50mm)
09940-14990 Engine Mounting Thrust adjuster socket wrench
09900-22301 Plastigauge
09900-22302 Plastigauge
09900-20602 dial gauge (1/1000, 1mm)
09900-22403 small bore gauge (18-35mm)
09900-20205 Micrometer (0-25mm)
09900-20606 Dial Gauge (1/100 mm)
09900-20701 Magnetic stand
09900-21304 V-block set
09916-14510 Valve lifter
09916-14910 Valve lifter attachment
09916-84511 Tweezers
valve oil seal x16
09900-20803 thickness gauge
09900-20102 vernier calipers
Looks like 5-600 dollars worth of tools per the suzuki catalog...
I don't think My friend is ready for that...
The one I need right away is the engine mount thrus adjuster socket...

pm smithabusa for the sockets...a friend of his use to make them?

Bummer = smithabusa's friend no longer makes them.
I'll post a "want to buy" but in case anyone here has one they want to sell for a reasonable price, let me know.
Working on valve clearance today - I'd post pics but Jinksters are much clearer than my amateur photography skills.
Tomorrow, cams coming out and I'll have a look at how bad the valves really look.
Question for once I get inside the engine - the manual says "decarbonize the cylinders"
- I always just wiped them through with an oiled cloth -- is there something else to be done? (these busa engines seem a little less forgiving than a 68 triumph)

Amazingly, with all the ugly noises coming from it, the valves are in spec.
If your hands don't look like this when taking an engine apart, you must be one of those smart guys who wears gloves:
Cam Tensioner off (The gasket was stuck to the tensioner...I'm just going to leave it as is)
Journal covers coming off (the far right front bolt is a real *****!)
Cams out
time to check cam tolerances...

Ok...small (hopefully not major) problem!
My son decided to help daddy out and grabbed the wrench and did what daddy was doing...and turned the engine after I pulled the cams.
Never thought about this before...kids do interesting things
How much trouble am I in here? If I rotate it back around to the mark am I good?
I'm pulling the engine soon and looking in the cylinders, so I've got plenty of time to sort this out...

nevermind - found the answer to that...all is well.
I'm kinda stuck right now waiting for some tools to come in. Anyone have suggestions on building some sort of engine stand? I'm going to pull the exhaust and radiator in preparation for the engine coming out, but that's boring and I won't bug you with pics...unless you really want to see them.

Cams are all in spec (and thanks to my favorite ex-airplane mechanic for loaning me his micrometers.)
Should have stands tomorrow so I can pull the pipes & radiator, drain oil, and get everything else ready for dropping the engine. Still looking for advice on an engine stand, but I'll just make something with 2x4s most likely.
Anyone know how much an empty engine weighs?

Most guys just use 2 X 4s , etc. and tear them down on a table / work bench. Probably not a whole lot of weight empty.

i hope your boy is buying plenty of beer for this project. sounds like you've got your hands full.
Mr. Matt will enjoy beer for life, whenever we are in the same place, and beer is available, and drinking is appropriate. I beleive those criteria have been met once in the last 20 years.

Last time I bought!

Yes you did, after I traveled 2000 miles to Manhattan. LOL What do Manhattan hotel bar beers cost, and what do Hunt, TX beers cost? Bet I could buy you Heinnies in Hunt.
Back to work!

I can't wait to hear the engine is dropped. The only thing better will be to hear you found what was causing the death rattle. The bike should not sound like a carnival midway BB machine gun. I may not be a mechanic, but......I do that that was bad.

Radiator and oil cooler off - a couple of observations:
1) two of the four mounting bolte were sheared - this assembly was just hanging there waiting for a bump to fall off. Not sure if this is from abuse or just weak bolts, but I'd advise people to check them in case there was a batch of weak bolts used. Bike is a 2003.
-I was able to back out the broken ends with patience and a smalll vice grip. Glas I didn't have to get an ez-out for this.
2) when disassembling, for anyone using this thread as a guide, the bolts on the bottom end of Oil Hose #2 (as referenced in the service manual page 53) are just about impossible to reach. I removed the top end bolts and waited to get the bottom ones off after removing the radiator/oil cooler. I plan to re-install the bottom end of the oil hoses before re-attaching the exhaust on reassembly.
Exhaust off tomorrow I think.

Just in case you don't feel like spending $$$ on tools you'll use one time - check into Auto Zone's tool rental program - Basically, you put down a deposit for the price of the tool and get your money back after you return it - I got a 36mm socket to move the back wheel from them - saved mr. jaegermeister there a few $$$ - they don't have everything, but they have a bunch of engine building tools.
