    Oil on Threads of Engine Bolts

    Was replacing some stripped bolts on the right side engine casing and noticed that there is oil on the threads. The oil is black and looks a bit gritty, more like grease than leaking engine oil. Is this normal or should I have the mechanic look at it? Has anyone who has installed the R&G engine...

    Track Day Coolant

    So I'm off to my second ever track day on Monday. I'm in the novice group at Laguna Seca and am not expecting to break any sound barriers. My big question is do I really need to replace my coolant with Water Wetter or Yamalube? The reason I ask is that I was fine on my first track day at...

And, then it went away. This only happened for the first 10 minutes or so, and after that the light...
