[QUOTE="Patriot, post: 788057, member: 17187"] good stuff, Fred thanx my new used engine still has the original old style CCT in it I have a new style sitting on my bench...with a 10k engine and all the other confusion going on, I left it alone wudda been really easy to change it while the engine was sitting on it's shipping pallet, but then I didn't know the significance of blocking the cam chain itself when doing so I wudda just done the change without pulling off the chain cover bike just turned 116k and ressurection day was Dec 06, 2009 with 93k plus 10k on the engine as a start, so the engine now has 33k on it gonna be listening closely, but on the other hand, I would seem obvious it has never had a valve check and is past due probably should plan to have that done and just replace the CCT at the same time wonder if Graves Cycle Repair does those and how long it would take as he swapped my engines with absolutely no issues...now that amazes me, but then so does Howie, but tell him I said so I guess I should search and research opinions on how necessary valve checks are and how often...huuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm...
