Actually yeah, whoever had the valve cover off last cross threaded a bolt so it broke off the first turn i made, luckily it was one of the short ones that only went in the cover instead of the head. Took it to a shop cuz I didn't want to screw up the valve cover with an easy out...

Ya, it becomes addicting. You just want to do more and more.

Congrats.
Oh, by the way, did you check the valve lash clearances while you had it apart? :whistle:

Setting the valve clearance is easy. It just takes a lot of time, some extra shims and a tool that z1enterprises sells. Your bike will love you for it.
