And no, you'll need to pull your head (the one on the bike ) to do either the Time-Sert or Heli-coil. The numbers on the shims go down, not up.

As for drilling and tapping with the engine assembled, metal chips will cause problems getting where they don't belong, and drilling 90 degrees for straight holes is another problem.

thanks i will look into it. but really angers me now that i probably stripped out 1 myself because of 12ft lbs in my book....
As a matter of reference - - -
KHI FSM Mar. 12, 1979 [Part No. 99931-540-03] covering '77~'79 KZ1000 specifies
95~113 in-lbs.
KHI FSM KZ900 Mar. 28, 1977 [Part No. illegible ] covering '73Z1~'76KZ900 specifies
104 in-lbs.
Chilton's Kawasaki 900Z1 Repair and Tune-up Guide 1973-1974, 1974 First Edition covering '73-'74Z1, specifies
105 inch pounds.
12 ft-lbs is 144 in-lbs, and obviously too tight by almost 50% over-torqued, at least for the large Kawasaki fours through 1979 models.
Am wondering exactly which manuals contain the bogus information?
Good Luck!
