EAST coast-who has kerry's valve adjusting kit?

[Kerry]

Hmmmmm.  :dunno:

[raylarrabee]

ditto what Crash said:  the video was exceptionally helpfull.  I felt a bond with our riend from Utah when I "clicked" the cam follower about 50 times before I got the valve tool seated right.

My biggest problem was getting the cam lobes into the correct position by turning the wheel.  at a certain point just before they got to where I wanted (for the exhaust valves) they would kind of "fall" over another 10-20 degrees.  Took some subtile tapping on the back wheel to nudge them into the right place w/o going past.

[crash]

speaking of cam lobes.  i could've sworn that there was a discussion somewhere about the cam lobe positions in the video being opposite to what clymer says.  am i daydreaming?

[Kerry]

Nope, you're right.  Apparently the "safest" position is to have the lobe pointing straight up rather than directly away from the shim.





Just one of the many tweaks I'll include if I ever remake the video from scratch.

But I have a hard time understanding how the position described in the video could "result in ... possible engine damage"

[crash]

quick question.

of the 6 bolts holding the head cover, the 4 big ones have o-rings.  are the 2 smaller/longer ones supposed to have o-rings?  because mine don't =/

[crash]

ok, i'm done.

whoever wants Kerry's kit, with a fancy new 2.62 shim, PM me your address.

Sounds like you already figured it out, but NO.

[crash]

btw, i wanted to post a word of (dumbass) wisdom.

if you follow Kerry's advice and stuff a rag into the hole in the middle of the case, be very careful when rotating the engine, as the rag may become caught in the chain/sproket, or under a cam =/

Gioro still in line???  If not, Crash, i sent you a PM with my address....

[weaselnoze]

recieved the kit today.  didnt get the CD yet, so i will wait unless kerry wants to give me a link...PLEASE!!!

[crash]

the compressed video (which i was not able to play) is ~600MB.  there is a torrent link somewhere up this thread (if it's still up)

the DVD is a good 3-4G, so no sending that one... wait for the mail

[Kerry]

Someone made a DVD out of the WMV file?  :dunno:

weaselnoze ... PM me your address and I will send you a new CD to toss in the toolkit.

[scootr9718]

Yep, Kerry the West Coast Kit has two discs in it, one is a dvd with your video on it, one is a CD-R with the WMV file on it...if you recall I was concerned with skipping, that was on the DVD....some helpful person converted it.
(By the way, my bike didn't have any o-rings on it...but it's never leaked, so I left well enough alone)

[raylarrabee]

Kerry - don't send a new CD.  I am sending the CD out overnight to Weaselnoze.  It was in my laptp and I forgot to slip it into the box when I mailed him the kit.  No reason for you to spend any money sending one out when it was my mistake.

weaselnoze, you'll have it tomorrow.

[weaselnoze]

ya i told kerry that he didnt need to send another one.

[Altruism111]

Alright fellas so who has which kit now?

[weaselnoze]

i have east coast...

[nisus1]

crash has sent the west coast kit out to me... should be here tomorrow or monday.  Altruism is next, but Weaselnoze will most likely be done before me.  No one else is in line so far... any other takers?

Just hit 100 posts!  Feels like my birthday! I'm all growds up!

[weaselnoze]

hmm i havent recieved the CD yet ray.  what day and via what method did u send?

[raylarrabee]

FedEx.  Sent today (friday) morning.  I confirmed that they have Saturday delivery for your ZIP.  Should be at your house tomorrow (Sat) am.
