By the way,
this is the first time I’ve removed the V-MAX head cover.
I’ll search online for it anyway.
“V-MAX head cover”
Looking at the images, it seems like a pretty high bar?
Taking off the carburetor too…
Seriously?
I gave it a shot anyway.
Hey there!
Remove the radiator,
disconnect the servo motor wire, and the head cover comes right off.
Actually, there’s plenty of space.
I wonder if it varies by model year…
Anyway, I’m glad it worked out.
The radiator is in great shape too—nice!
This rubber is amazing!
A level of luxury you’d never see in modern times.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail are incredible…
Swap the coolant drain for a modern one.

Looks much cleaner now! (*´ω｀*)
Now I’ll fill the coolant.
By applying vacuum before pouring,
it’s “super quick.”
If you think it’s a hassle,
now’s your chance!

Replace the radiator cap.
As long as the shape and pressure match,
even a four-wheel cap works fine.
By the way,
it fits most domestic vehicles.

The cap reads 1.1.
Check the dimensions with calipers and you’re good.
Replace the brake master.
Replacing it is
faster, cheaper, and better.
Drain the fluid from the tank completely.
When you buy a brake master,
it comes with
a plug like this.
Keep it—it’s useful for all sorts of things!
Wrap it with a rag and hold it temporarily.
Since it’s at the highest point,
it won’t leak more than necessary.
Replace the master, fill the fluid, and
“vacuum bleed.”
By the way,
don’t use a “vacuum pump.”
Vacuum pumps tend to take in
some of what they suck up internally.
If it sucks up brake fluid,
the pump’s rubber seals will likely fail.

An air-powered
brake bleeder works just right!
For now,
