Installation Procedure
TWO LINE KIT:
Congratulations on your purchase of the V65 Magna/Sabre/1000 Interceptor Oil Mod Kit. (0812)
Enclosed please find the following:
Aluminum adaptor & O ring; Steel mounting nut & O ring
1/8 NPT X an4 X 90 degree elbow; 1/8 NPT X an4 straight fitting
30 inch & 25 inch braided line - an4 on one end, 10 mm banjo fitting on the other
10mm bolt; Five (5) 10 mm crush washers
Bracket & Wire Separator
If this is for a V65 engine, please drill out the oil supply hole in the aluminum adaptor (as supplied drilled to .100) to .250 (quarter inch). If this is for an Interceptor 1000 drill oil supply hole to 11/64 inches. Do not drill if this is for a V45 engine as the oil pump is too small. Before mounting on engine, ensure that all metal shavings have been removed from parts so as not to damage engine. Disclaimer: I am not liable for any damage to engine, etc. as I am not controlling the installation process.
Other Items Needed For Oil Mod:
Loctite (red) Tools Needed: Vise Grips, Torque Wrench, 1 1/8 inch socket, 17mm socket, ½ Inch Wrench
Teflon tape
Notes:
This adaptor will not compensate for a poorly operating oiling system. Please verify that it is working correctly BEFORE installing the oil mod. Oil Pressure should be measured BEFORE and AFTER mod to verify that it is in the proper operating range. Honda specifies oil pressure to be 77 psi +/- 10 for a V65 and 64 psi +/- 11 for a V45 at 176 degrees F at the crank at 5,000 rpm. Verify that the braided lines are unobstructed and allows oil to flow freely. Note: fitting is metric at crank sensor, not 1/8 NPT.
You will need Loctite (red) for the centre bolt. If you want increased clearance between the oil filter and the exhaust header after the installation use Honda oil filter for a Goldwing GL1500.
Installation:
Read all instructions first! If you are a man, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!
1. Remove oil filter and drain oil as per a normal oil change.
2. Remove the banjo bolts from the top of the transmission and the two heads. (May require removal of carbs)
3. Remove the bolts holding the stock steel line. Remove stock steel line. You may have to bend it or cut it to get it out if you have not removed the carbs. Reinstall holding bolts.
4. Block off feed from transmission using supplied 10 mm bolt and a new crush washer. Tighten bolt to 20 ft. lbs.
5. Feed braided steel lines from the right side of the engine under the carbs. Install the both braided lines using two new crush washers each - one on the bottom and one on top of the new banjo fitting. The long one goes to the left side on the engine (rear head). Tighten finger tight at this time. They will be tightened later to 20 ft. lbs. CAUTION: Braided line can be very abrasive and could damage the finish on your engine. Be careful not to rub it against the engine. A soft cloth between the line and the engine will protect the engine during assembly.
6. Feed braided hoses along the right side of the engine and down between the frame and the engine above the engine mount.
7. Clean the block where the adaptor and the centre nut will be installed. Remove oil spigot with Vise Grips.
8. Install the 1/8 NPT X an4 X 90 degree elbow on the aluminum adaptor using Teflon tape on the threads in the six o’clock position. When tightened it should be facing left and out at approximately 45 degrees. Tighten only enough for a good seal. Over tightening will damage the adaptor.
9. Install the 1/8 NPT X an4 straight on the aluminum adaptor using Teflon tape on the threads in the nine o’clock position. Tighten only enough for a good seal. Over tightening will damage the adaptor.
10. Place some oil on the o ring of the steel centre nut and gently push it into the aluminum adaptor while turning it.
11. After verifying that the oil spigot on the block is clean, place some red Loctite on the threads.
12. Place some oil on the large oil ring and install the adaptor/centre nut assembly to the engine with the elbow fitting at about the four o’clock position. Snug but don’t torque down. This will later be tightened to 30 ft. lbs.
13. Attach the braided hoses to the fittings on the adaptor. The short hose goes to the elbow. Be careful when attaching the hose ends to the adaptor. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Over tightening could cause the threads to strip. NO Teflon needed between the lines & fittings.
14. The adaptor can now be turned to take up any slack in the line. Do not turn too far so as to restrict oil flow in line or place it too close to the exhaust.
15. Tighten centre nut to 30 ft. lbs.
16. Tighten banjo bolt to 20 ft. lbs.
17. Once everything is in place, secure braided line to the engine block using supplied bracket. Caution should be used to ensure that the braided line does not rub against the engine during normal operation as it is abrasive and will damage finish on engine.
18. Install new oil filter and oil as per usual procedure.
19. With kill switch in the off position, crank the engine a few times to build the pressure and fill the lines, adaptor and filter.
20. Start engine and verify that there are no leaks.
21 . Ride with a new confidence that your cams are now receiving higher pressure, filtered oil!
I am collecting data on oil pressures recorded before and after the oil mod. Please email me this data to the email address below including type of bike, mileage, before and after pressures at idle and at 5,000 rpm at operating temperature (bike warmed up). My V65 Sabre was 87.5 psi before at 5,000 rpm and 82 after. oilmod@hotmail.com (506)623-1016 after 5:30 Atlantic time - Tom
