Lucky Stephen Gaulin. He
not only gets to wrench on his own bikes, but he gets to
help out with his buddys' Changs as well. Here's Geoff
Keyes installing a deep sump oil pan on his M1
Super. Stephen's bike served as the guinea pig. |
 |
The new pan brings the oil capacity to
almost four quarts, double that of the original pan.
Where's the diving board? |
 |
These pans are available from several
sources including Ural-Dnepr dealers. This one came from Dong Tian
Enterprises in China. |
 |
Here's the new pan next to the old one for
comparison. That's some difference! |
 |
The oil pump. |
 |
Geoff buttons up the easy side. |
 |
There she is. Looks like a belly turret on a
B-29. |

Stephen replaced the cheesy Chinese cotter
pin on "the Chairman" (his M1 Super) with this
clip. As you can see, it only takes a second to install
or remove, and you'd certainly notice if it was gone. |
 |
|
 |
The fuses that come with CJs are also pretty
cheesy, something many of us have learned the hard way.
This is a BUSS model BH/HMM mini fuse holder he
installed. It accepts 2-30 amp fuses. |
 |
Here's a look at the installation. Stephen
picked up many of his technical skills restoring BMWs
over the years. |

 |
This magnetic drain plug came from Shuck's
Auto Supply. It's a perfect fit. The size is 14mm x 1.5
thread. Evey CJ should have one, especially if the
standard pan is used. There's only two quarts of oil to
disperse debris. You can also buy these at Checkers and
other auto parts stores. |

 |
We thought you'd appreciate seeing these
great looking bullet turn signals. |
 |
|
 |
This is the packing Stephen uses around the
headers. You can buy it at any wood or gas stove store.
It's the gasket seal used around the doors and front
covers. It comes by the foot and in different sizes and
shapes. |
 |
This one is sticky-backed so it stays in
place when you apply it around the exhaust pipe. Stephen
used it at the headers and also the silencer joints to
seal them. It's better than the Chinese asbestos strips. |
