Thanks. I had a technician do it but worth a recheck as well. I did have a feeling it was due to overheating but wasn't sure where to start. I'll start with this one and then work my way through. Perfect, I think your headed in the right direction dbbl and triple check the work, any doubt roll her over again end check your work. Good luck What gauge feeler did you use? .004 or .005? Got it taken part and just need to adjust now. Did you also replace the o ring? I was just reading that red silicone with the old o-ring should do the trick. |

Go with the .004 A fairly firm feel, be aware not to firm as to compress the valve spring. Roll the engine over again and bbl check your work. then roll the engine over again and triple check your work. it just takes a couple minutes to re-check your work and be confident it is correct, this is important What "o" wrong are you referring to? |

The valve cover o-ring. It looks fine but wasn't sure if I should replace it. |

Thats what I figured, I didn't want to assume.
If its good, go with it, monitor it in the future just incase.
good luck

Got it adjusted and put back together. The out/exhaust was more than .006 but the in seemed about right. Ran it for about 10mi around town for some errands and its been running well.
Let's hope that did the trick.

Let's hope that did the trick. Put another 40mi and you can tell just slight lose of power (1-3mph) and it comes right back up. Totally good with this! |
