The rocker cover gasket is rubber so hope to use that again. The o ring on the water pipe might be a prob as alot of crap builds between itself and the head damaging the o ring when removing.
I'll bring the instant gasket as a get out of jail.

You might need a temp. fuel supply, unless your gonna swivel the tank out the way. And possibly a drain plug gasket/copper washer.

If your struggling to calculate the shims using yer heeds, you could use the valve shim calculator on JBX's site.

I tried it out yesterday and it's reeeeeealy good !

I sent em the EXACT calculator SR. The crazy Frenchmans one assumes you only have '5' increment shims available.
"Whats up", "Piston Broke", "Yeah me too...hic"

If you want to mark your location on the Carpe map: http://www.carpe-tdm...opic.php?t=5117

Doin valve clearances? Use dappers valve shim exchange program and the job will be carroty - Free (other than you postin me yer shims) for sporting members.
