Got some parts from Vicki so started swapping out today. Started with the tappet screen. It was fun getting the old slotted bolt out, had to get creative.


Got it out!


The slotted bolt & the new one from Vicki


Went to remove the tappet screen and there isnt one! Looked done there with a flashlight everything, I could not see a screen only the spring.



Anyone got any ideas? '06 k-9, spring looks way longer then the one on Gas Man's service post. Think the screen might be way the hell down in there? It's possible the dealer forgot to replace it! :angry:

Yep, you removed a plug on the oil pump. The tappet is in the cam case and already has that nice new plug. :D

And to think I printed out Gas' how to and still fucked it up! Maybe a little to much juice from the BDM keg-o-rater during the process today huh!


I just went out and removed "The Correct" bolt. Found a dirty tappet screen! Thanks fellas!

The keg is always full. When you make your way through Parker CO down to ride Pikes Peak I am sure we will pour a few.
