    Spark plug tube seal replacment

    Good day everyone. I plan on doing this next week, but I have a quick question: If I recall, someone mentioned loosening all the valves a bit to ease in reinstallation of the rocker arm assembly. Is this necesary and if so, how would I got about doing it?

    Thanks,
    Cris P.

    there is no reason to loosen the rockers? once you take the valve cover off you can pull out the tube seals on the under side of the valve cover, replace all 4 and the cover gasket and reinstall.

      he is talking about the lower tube seal.

      you take out the bolt the hold the rocker arm. DO NOT TOUCH VALVE ADJUSTMENT BOLTS

      I think there are no need to touch # 8 and 11

      Tighten the 6mm bolts to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm) and the 8mm bolts to 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm).

      Follow that PDF tightening down sequence

          I'll definately be doing a valve adjustment after the tube seals.

          So when I remove the rocker assembly, there is NO need to loosen (or increase the valve lash) the valves to help with reassbembly?

          Thanks,
          Cris P.

            ^I would actually loosen all the adjusters completely, it is recommended in the Helm's manual, and the less stress on the rocker assembly, the better, it just makes sense if you think about the forces from the valve springs that are sprung. Plus, it'd be stupid to not do a full adj. anyways while you're in there. Def. take your time w/ this, you don't want to do this job twice nor do you want to mess up the rocker assy!

              And to loosen the adjusters I just use a 10mm wrench to loosen the adjusting nut and a flat head screwdriver to back it out a bit. Then tighten the nut back down?

                Exactly, loosen the 10mm jam nut, back out the adjusters all the way, still threaded in the arm of course, but pretty much all the way backed out. Then when the rocker assy. is all back on and retorqued and you're ready for your valve adj, thread the adjusters back in and do the adj. to spec.

                  I did not touch the adjusters when i did mine, and they came out fine.

                    Soooooo what's the verdict here??? Loosen valves or leave them alone

                    (Yes I know to adjust them after replacing the rocker assembly)
