Just take your time, and it turns out to not be as hard as it looks. I think taking the plastics, tank, etc off was more time consuming than the actual adjustment, but I was noticeably faster taking them off and then back on after I figured out my intake valve cover was on upside down. It's pretty satisfying to get them adjusted, run the motor through a couple of revolutions, and check them again and have them measure the same.

Matty "but I was noticeably faster taking them off and then back on after I figured out my intake valve cover was on upside down."
I found a felt tip pen was my friend for this. I have very conspicuous arrows and Int and Exh on my valve covers now. rj

We live in the area, so Valley Forge is not very far. Maybe a 20 -25 min ride. The hi-viz gear was his idea, I simply ordered. His name is Luke by the way. I'm trying to get him on the forum! You'd enjoy his insight. |

That looks permanent enough for me Wood. May want to leave it that way if you are ever planning to get the CSC aluminum skid plate down the road. Would save you from having to grind it off again. rj
