I have the manual and can scan any pages you may need. You may beat me putting yours back together. I'm supposed to have my cylinders and pistons back tomorrow. Had to wait on rings, seems not to many shops carry 4 1/4" rings!! :lol:

Thanks Ray. I guess head and rocker box assembly and torque specs would be a good start. Also, does it state when to use blue or red locktite on the bolts? I read somewhere that has that. May have been the manual or something off this site. Did you bore your cylinders out to 4.25? If so, what does that make it now? I hope you get it all back together for some slow, break-in riding for memorial weekend. Thanks again for the S&S pages. Just email me. Later.I have the manual and can scan any pages you may need.

Yeah, that's what I meant!!!
That's all in the manual. I'll email it to you. Do you still have the TP tops or did you switch to S&S? I have the assembly instructions for the TP's also.Thanks Ray.

I still have the TP Rocker Boxes. Wish I didn't but I do. I didn't see anything that looked as if the valves were wearing the guides at an angle or anything. The BDM manual has some information on it but if you have something from TP, I'll take it. Thanks again.That's all in the manual. I'll email it to you.

Insert title here...
That's it! Sounds like your rods are in good shape and the only other "things" I was talking about was what Ray mentioned, the cam.Dennis, I appreciate your faith in me to "check the rest". but what exactly are you talking about? The cam and connecting rod?
Ask him! Then maybe he'll be too busy to argue with me!!!
:2thumbs:
And you'd have no guarantee the mechanic really had a clue either! :down: There's nothing better than the feeling you get from fixing your own stuff!
And I hope you don't think the info is FREE!!! We'll be expecting input from you when we ask about something you have the answer to!!!

I have the strangest shit happen to my bike, so my answers my sound a little far fetched, but rest assured, they come from experience. Have you ever heard of a valve breaking mid stem and falling into the cylinder? Ruined the whole upper end, head, piston and jug. Now this, a bolt coming out of the rocker box and jamming down into the valve spring. If nothing else, I bring variety to the forum!
Brad, here is the TP stuff.

Thanks Ray, looking at the procedure for installation, I don't see where you install the "O" ring in the top of the chimney (the stack that surrounds the decompression valve in the center of the rocker box. There is an O ring in the top of that chimney, right? I ordered the set, so I hope one comes with it.
That may be part of the S&S instructions but yes. I have my package of gaskets downstairs and I'm sure there are new ones in there.Thanks Ray, looking at the procedure for installation, I don't see where you install the "O" ring in the top of the chimney (the stack that surrounds the decompression valve in the center of the rocker box.
