    Pamco advance rod slop, is this normal?

    This is my second time installing my Pamco setup, I'm just wrapping up after replacing my valve seals. I never noticed it the first time but now, with everything tightened up, my advance rod slides laterally abt 1/16". Is this normal? To clarify, if I'm sitting eye level to the side of the...

    How did you determine you had weak spark? Sorry, I know very little abt the electronics side of the bikes.

    Well, I got super lucky. Once I pulled the head off the bolt WAS sticking up past the surface of the cylinders, abt 1/8". This was just enough for me to get a good grip w a pair of vice grips. The bolt spun out no problem. WHEW!! That could have been so much worse.. I had planned...

    It's almost freezing today so I won't be out in the shop, I plan on pulling everything apart again tomorrow. New head gasket should be here Thursday so maybe we can start moving forward again this coming weekend. Holy shit, look at this. Replacing valve seals through the tappet covers while...

    Steps for replacing the valve stem seals ?

    Pushrod seal? Am I missing something? I would like to know what seals you are referring to though bc, my top end is apart right now, I just replaced my valve seals. Are there other seals on the top end besides camshaft seals, that I am unaware of?

    Hit them with some penetrant and let them sit. If they still wont come out, you can try this, just be careful. Taken from http://www.amckayltd.com/carbguide.pdf

    Idling up on its own is sometimes indicative of an air leak. Spray carb cleaner around the carb boots, butterfly shafts and around the choke plates. Listen for changes in rpms. It can take a second sometimes to get a response so remember to wait a good 5 seconds or so between squirts.

    eBay Now I know I messed up. Bigtime. Snapped the little bolt at the back of the head. The rest of it is in the cylinder block. Yes I was using a torque wrench set at 16 ft/lbs. What do I do?

    There they are, #2. I was pretty sure that they needed to be there. I already pulled the head off and put em where they were supposed to be. Thank you though, having diagrams like on boats.net can be very useful and I never knew that they were there. Yes. Already done.

    I think I messed up. See the two studs at upper left and lower right? The holes they pass through in the cylinders are slightly larger than all the others. Are they supposed to get the little sleeves in them? Little sleeves like these I don't have the valve cover back on yet but...

    Timing the cam to the crank... AHHHH! This part makes me more nervous than anything else bc if you do it wrong, disaster can result. Haynes says to put left cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke. As far as the bottom end is considered, there is no compression/exhaust stroke right? Just as...

    Both sides of the gasket get sealer in the indicated areas I'm assuming. This is perfect. Thank you 5T.

    So I'm all ready to start reassembly. I've got all new Athena gaskets. Should I still use a thin film of grease or are modern gasket incompatible w grease? I can't imagine that they would be.
