[QUOTE="rPGoatBoy, post: 941096, member: 27237"] Thanks guys, I don't want to pull the head/crank/rods/pistons if I don't have to, this is already an extensive job as it is. Plus, I've scanned the forum and don't see anybody bitching about a blown head gasket, so I think I'm good there. Props to Ponyfool for creating those threads a few years ago, I only wish he'd have kept the pictures up. The motor is on the bench now, I had the valve cover off last night to record some valve clearances (0.001" too tight on the intakes of Cyl. 1) While I'm in there, I'll be setting all of them to the high side of the limit, and replacing the CCT with a blue dot one. The bike has 27-28k on it, should I replace the timing chain as well since I'm there? Anything else I should hit because I'm already there? I've been taking lots of pictures, and will gladly donate them to the forum for everyone's benefit. Don't think I'll have the time to add "circles & arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us" though. Thanks in advance, again Ryan [/QUOTE]
