Valves Done - Thanks for the Help Scooter Bob

[RedRider]

Got the valve shims all taken care of with help from Scooter Bob. None were more than 0.06mm tight, but they are now all on the loose side of the valve clearance tolerance.

 

I had to drill and chisel off one of the allen bolts holding one of the chrome covers since it would not release. Once I get the stud removed and the hole retapped, I will be able to put it all back together again (I hope). As of now, I have pieces and parts all over the garage workshop. It is a real mess.

 

Not really good pictures, but this is my steed in all her naked glory.

 

Thanks again Bob for the help today. Took hours off the time required to get this taken care of.

Twas a good time. I certainly learned a lot. And it wasn't as bad as Jeff made it sound, only one was more than .01mm under, and it was only .02mm under the spec.

 

:think:And I think we didn't drop anything down to the lower end either!!

 

I wish I would have remembered to take another pic of the record book after we added all the calculations and assorted chicken scratchin'

 

 

Later, Scooter Bob

Jeff,

We have not met yet but my thanks go out to you:bowdown: for taking Bob off my hands for the day. I grabbed some volunteer work at our local American Legion bar cleaning up a mess that Bob and I had a hand in making. I got to scrub and clean while he went for a ride and stopped out by you to help you out. Its all good and he came back with a smile on his face . That's worth the world to me that he smiles and his eyes are sparkly when he rides. Hope to meet you some day as Bob speaks of you often with work issues that you two are collaborating on.

 

Good luck with the rest of the assembly work... definitely not my cup of tea...my job in this relationship is to break things :buttkick:LOL.

Karen,

 

We definately need to get together so you can impress upon my wife how it is great when I go out and ride so she can clean the house without interuption.

Seriously though, I look forward to meeting you this summer. Thank you for letting Bob come help yesterday. You are very understanding - I see why Bob loves you so much.
