I broke my tap on the rebuild so I had to run it with two cam cap bolts stripped. Bone head move putting lateral pressure on a hardened tool. What a "Tool.":blush:

I tried measuring both ways. If I had set them with the lobes pointing away, the valves would be way loose. With shim over buckets, that could be disastrous.

Hey Steve,

Hate to say it, but that drip is just a little of the piss you rode out of it...
I don't like oil drips on my driveway either...but, they are old Kaw's after all. :whistle:
