I must have walked under a ladder, or had a black cat walk in front of me because I had a couple of things go to crap for me today.
Started out, I went out in the VY and got a flat.....No biggie, except I got a piece of rectangular steel, about 2 foot long that went straight through the tread and trucked the tyre.....
Then I decided to try fix the oil leak coming from my VC....I noticed the front rubber seal, inbetween the timing case cover and sump was poking out, causing the leak....
So I got underneath, loosened off a few sump bolts and was able to poke it back in situ....when I went to put it back together, I broke a timing case cover to sump bolt, stripped another and ended up breaking the sump gasket....
So I definately have to take the motor out the VC and replace the sump gasket....Fortunately I do have another timing case cover, so I save a few bucks there....But the VC can sit for another week or 2 until I cool down enough from the crap it has given me the last 2 times I have gone to fix the oil leak
