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

[JCH]

I've done it before, on that bike even, and would be happy to help out if it fits my schedule (That is if Mark wants my help  )

[allmtrslut]

hey if the other guys  and me need the help i wouldnt mind it at all man! iam not holding on to any grudges!!!    how is the sv treating you?

[JCH]

Doing well, thanks    Had a little spill at willow springs big track but it was all cosmetic, mostly fixed it up.

The process for the valve adjustment is pretty simple.  Kerry's video helps a ton.  But all in all its pretty easy.

I did it on your bike about 500 miles before I sold it, so I'm glad to hear you've put on a bunch of miles since then.

allmtrslut-


I believe it is in Celica's possession right now, waiting to ship to you.


Thursdays, I would have to head up after class which lets out at 3:30-4, but that is definitely work-able on my end.  AgentNitz, that work for you?

[allmtrslut]

funny situation is i just realized that my valves dont need to be adjusted....retarted story but i guess i will share with you peeps! i was washing my bike about a month ago and ended up puting a shirt around the airt filter so water wouldnt get in....well it seems i forgot to take it out. so..when i get passed 5k rpm the bike cant suck enough air...hence it feels like it isnt moving forward very well. i found this out yesterday when i took my seat off to look at something    but i have almost 5k miles on the bike and was wondering if i should check the valves out anyway!?!

[poormanracing]

i sent it to agentnitz...theyre planning on doing th check together, with allmtrslut that is...no skipping

Cheaters! 

[Mk1inCali]

Sorry for the confusion...I wasn't totally sure what was going on, and wanted to get it cleared up.



allmtrslut- Is the total mileage on your bike 5K now, or is that how much you have put on it?  If I were you I'd leave it be until it starts losing power, but that's me and I've checked 'em once in the (almost) 19K I have on my bike.

[allmtrslut]

naw not 5k total, it has 18k. but the last valve job was done about 4k miles ago so iam just gonna let it be for now i guess. You guys just skip me sorry for the retartedness thanks.

Status update for the East Coast list:...

Also, the kit does not include a set of feeler gauges (I'm not sure if it used to, or not) so be prepared to furnish your own. They can be found at most auto parts stores .. I just picked up a set the other day for $5. Otherwise, it rocks. Thanks to Kerry and anyone else involved in getting this kit built and making the rounds .. it's a HUGE help!

The feeler guage was something Aero forgot to include in the package to Rick. Aero still had it last I PM'd him and wanted to forward to next person, so that would be Jace009gs then? secondgen7, you still got the kit?

I think this needs to be two separate west/East coast threads...will work on that.

[Mk1inCali]

Thanks Pablo, I was thinking about that as I was reading through it trying to figure out who had the West kit.

[Jace009gs]

I dunno what kit I got [east/west] but I did get a kit in today's mail....I've already got the valve cover off and going in to check clearances tonight....probably be sunday night before it's all done. So who is next so I know who to send it out to on monday

[Onlypastrana199]

ooo ooo im next! I'll pm you Jace. I do need the feeler guage though so Pablo if you havent had it sent to Jace could you please have it sent to me?

[pantablo]

Aero has it if he hasnt forwarded it to Jace already, separately. I'll see about pm'ing him.

splitting the threads....

[Aerospike]

Hey guys, 

I've PM'ed Jace a few days ago, but I haven't heard back from him.  I'd be great if I can get his address today so I can ship it tomorrow while I have the time.

[gazingwa]

wow, this might actually work out.... I get my house with the HUGE 2.5 car garage in three weeks, just in time for the kit to arrive

[Jace009gs]

sorry I have not checked out the board more often....ummm I'm about a week behind what I told Pastarmi...none the less I'm done w/ the kit. Can someone give me a list of what should be in the kit?   Alls I got was a micrometer and a bag-o-shims +The Karry Productions CD....Any hoot no feeler gage but autozone has em' for $4.99

[manofthefield]

[Aerospike]
