I have just got some new tappet covers for my 48 Rapide.
Taking off the old ones, the thread on the inlet on the front pot started to tighten up after a few turns.
Damn I thought, the thread has somehow crossed whilst undoing it.
I applied more pressure with ths spanner and when it eventually came loose I noticed that the tappet had caught against the inside of the cap scraping off slithers of ally.
Is this normal?
Could I have bent the pushrod or done some other damage?
Yours Confused.
