Ivj rebuild xt600 tenere 87
Ok ,......managaed to source a set of casing,s for my tenere 87 and intend on rebuilding the engine with the original electric start.......
I know they suffered from engine cooling problems from the oil pump and heads blowing and warping so the previous owner ( who buggered off to Australia where I hope things are working out for him,the wife and kids and is living the dream!) moved the oil cooler out into the airflow to a better position to help with cooling but is there anything else I can do to improve it and stop the potential problems occuring again?
I know one of the problems with blown heads from that model was no cooling getting to the head so yamaha got round it by putting vents in the front mudguard to improve cooling to the engine....I,m sure there was something about an improved oil pump on the 3aj/vj model ( not sure of model) and a change to the cylinder head bolts?
Any help or info more than welcome and hope everything is working out with my mate peril....
