[QUOTE="Jeffs, post: 1107054, member: 27684"] Sanity check! Thanks for the spread sheet link. After taking a deep breath and re-reading the valve check how-to and the manual I feel confident that I have the lobes in the proper orientation, 10:00 and 2:00. I checked them in the order the manual states 1, 2, 4, 3. Now here is my issue. All the valves are loose....yes, all of them. On the intake I can slide a .14mm feeler gauge on all intake valves and on the exhaust I can slide a .178mm on all exhaust valves. I bought the bike used and have the receipts from the previous owner. at 26K he had a "Major Tune-up" which cost a bit less than $800.00 I assume this was the valve check. However, there was no documentation on the valve readings. Is it likely / possible that all my valves are loose? My bike is a 2008 FJR with 58K miles on it. Thanks [/QUOTE]
