[Repair Parts] O-Ring

About quality and texture - The cylinder head side cover O-Ring from SP Takegawa is made from soft rubber, the quality from the overall fit and finish is perfect.About the feeling of use - A unique design/shaped O-Ring that was necessary for me to purchase when piecing together parts for my engine overhaul as the original O-Ring was leaking on the 4 valve cylinder head.Products to buy together - A key product to purchase when freshening up the top end of the engine is a new gasket set as it is far from advised to reassemble this area with used gaskets and the snap ring used in this area is also advised to replace.Difficulty of installation - The installation of the cylinder head side cover O-Ring is an simple task that took 0.1 of an hour to complete. Common sense is all that is required to secure the O-Ring to the cylinder head camshaft cover.Cost performance and comparison with other products - I find the cost of all the products SP Takegawa sell to be on par when compared to what most other companies sell their products for and the cylinder head side cover O-Ring no different.About shipping and packaging - With there being no cost difference between sea freight and EMS for the cylinder head side cover O-Ring, I chose EMS for an earlier arrive date. The part was extremely well protected while being covered in bubble wrap and surrounded with air pillows in a sturdy cardboard box.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - Webike Japan is the first place I look to for all my motorcycle needs. From service parts to performance products and even motorcycle gear and apparel, Webike always seem to satisfy my needs in regards to availability and pricing.

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the cylinder head side cover O-ring from SP Takegawa. Made from a soft flexible rubber to help create a good seal, this is a single O-Ring for the cam cover. About the feeling of use: The O-ring is shaped perfectly and fits easily into the cam cover and once torqued down have zero oil leaks. Products to buy together: A tappet adjustment wrench would also be desirable to purchase along side the cylinder head side cover O-ring as this cover is removed regularly to confirm TDC for valve clearance checks and adjustments on the 4-valve head. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about 5 minutes, undo the allen key fasteners for the cam cover and use an O-ring pick tool to remove the old O-rings so to not damage the cover. Lubricate the new O-ring with engine oil, fit to the cover and torque down the allen key fasteners to 8 Nm. Not difficult to do. Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a quality O-ring that is specifically designed and shaped for the SP Takegawa 4-valve head that is not available for any other source. About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght is my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost and it is fantastic that it has returned as an option once again so I can put my money toward parts and not high shipping costs. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: If you wish to refresh all the inspection cover O-Rings on your SP Takegawa 4-valve head then you can purchase the set of 3 O-Rings instead of purchasing them all individually.
