Nice to see someone else makes the effort to clean up the working area before starting the job. Takes time but is so worth it. Getting the TBs off is a major faff but well done. Hopefully its not too bad getting them back on. Fortunately I only need to remove the front set in order to get at and remove the SAI junk. Enjoyed watching your work ....
Thank you! it takes a bit of fenagling to get them back on, but it's not too bad. Good luck with your project!
why are you removing throttle bodies to check valve clearance?
I realize it is possible to check the clearances without pulling the throttle bodies, but I like having plenty of room to work especially considering that this is the first time I am doing this job.
My Aprilia mechanic actually showed me that you do not have to remove throttle bodies to do this job. You just need to remove the injectors and injector rails. The entire job can be done with throttle bodies in place.
Yup, I was aware of this. Since this was my first time doing it, I just wanted to have more space to work. It's a lot harder with the throttle bodies in place though.
