[QUOTE="oexing, post: 127352, member: 1493"] A lot of torque on the spindles will not help much for the timing gear assembly, only good fits in all bores corresponding with spindles will be desirable. So just fit with new nyloc nuts - in case you like them, I don´t, prefer Loctite of the suitable grade, never have nylocs anywhere on bikes. These rollers on valve lifters are a no-go definitely !! They are known to become loose for decades so why risk to fit them after all this time ?? Simple to have the levers welded up with hard material and blend this on the grinder, not a difficult job at all. I did not like the design as found so learned from bad stories here and came up with this mod below. Vic [ATTACH type="full"]37209[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
