Can the head be removed with the engine still mounted?

Yes if you pull some of the head bolts.
But at some point you'll wish you pulled the engine.
It's a tight fit.

You can do it in frame by removing the upper rear motor mount through bolts and loosening the lower one. Pegs have to be off also and the head stay. It allows the engine to tip forward enough to slip the head off the studs. Also rear wheel will have to be loosened and moved to the forward position to allow the belt to move with the engine. Max

The gauge was installed using parts I had plus a metric to NPT adapter I bought.
see:
http://www.egauges.com/vdo_acce.asp?Subgroup=Metric_Adapter_Bushings
If I did it again, I think I would buy a oil pressure install kit at Auto-Zone for the plumbing. I used 1/8" NPT nipples and used a wire tie to clamp it on to the fitting.
One of my to-do's is to post the pict's in the Tect Ref section.
My first stab is in the Rubber side at
http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1194960603/12#12
. It has my old tach and old gauge shown. I have new pict's to post.

Here's a picture I copied from eBay years ago that you can see the test port ...... sort of.... maybe. Just to the right and down a little from the crankshaft hole. Or using compass wording, southeast from the crankcase hole.

Hello fsmidt:
That is a nice looking oil cooler. Where is it supposed to be mounted? Do you know where they can be purchased? Do you know what its' capacity is? I am just full of questions tonight. Thanks

I'm a little surprised by T Mack 1 's oil guage readings of 1 and 2 psi. Guages aren't very accurate at the extreme bottom end of their range but his guage is calibrated fairly low so it is probably a reasonably accurate number. I would have expected it to be higher. I haven't studied the oil circuit very close to see how that might effect the reading at that point.
Has anyone else checked their oil pressure?

I put oil cooler on my '02 and hooked a gauge up to check the pressure drop at different places in the oil pathway. At 1200 rpm I was only getting about 10 psi, when I dropped the rpm down to 1000 the pressure was 5 psi with a hot engine. I was using a gauge with a range of 0-30 psi so I would think that it was accurate at the lower end.
The oil cooler is set up with the flow going from the front port thru the cooler and back to the space that the oil filter sits in. I drilled and tapped a return in the side cover just above the filter. So far it has worked great and has added almost another quart to the oil capacity of the engine. The plumbing make the bike look a little frankenstein to some.
