Okay with warm weather, comes working on the project, those who follow me on Instagram I'm using #HQ300 HQ stands for Harley Quinn, and 300 for the engine.
So today I changed out the O-rings on the coolant pipes, as one was leaking last year before winter rolled in. They are OEM, and greased before installation.
I also checked the motor side to make sure nothing wierd was going on.
The type of grease I use for all my greasing needs.
All buttoned up
Sorry no picture of the one in the head, but you get the point.
Next up I decided to go with a pod filter, I ordered the K&N back last year, and it got here in March, I have no idea why it took so long, just happy it arrived.
The air temperature sensor will be installed into the filter later, because my cordless drill is not in the shop at this time.
Next up filling it up with coolant, I picked up a coolant funnel kit off Amazon, with made it a whole lot easier, and inexpensive.

It's easy enough to use, attach it to the where the radiator cap goes and full it up about 1/2 way 40 oz. then remove the plunger part. Once it's done filling up, add a bit more coolant, and start it up with everything still attached, and let it cycle the radiator fan a couple of times. The after that, shut it off and let it cool down, insert the plunger and remove everything, install cap and done.
The cool part about using this is there in almost no coolant lose, no need to keep adding coolant while it's running. This is one tool worth the money.
No that's not Dexcool, it's plain 50/50 with redline water wetter.
So that's the engine done with fresh oil, filter, and coolant.
And was the easy part part of this build.
Stay tuned......
