[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1170256, member: 27852"] My buddy that was planning to come to the shop yesterday and help me with my valve check and CCT replacement is going to be tied up for a while. He's a sole proprietor and I certainly get that business comes first. So I'm probably going to have to tackle this job myself. I've printed and read/studied (many times) the pictorials. I'm anticipating at least 2 shim replacements because during the last check, 2 of my exhaust valves were right on the edge of tight. I've torn everything down to the cam cover and stopped last night. Later this week or weekend I'll continue.... Last night I told wifey, in the most serious and matter of fact way I know, that if she happens to be wandering near the shop and it looks like I've painted my motorcycle, I haven't. My wrenching session has gone south beyond salvage, I said the hell with it, sold it for parts, and bought another FJR. At that point we can argue the decision, and I will fully admit my fault, but I will have already done the deed so it will be a small price to pay for getting another motorcycle. I'll use this thread for specific concerns along the way. Any moral support offered in the mean time will not be turned away. [/QUOTE]
