[QUOTE="Ducdude, post: 23462, member: 2077"] Well 32 ft/lb done up in stages from hand tight to 32ft/lb in 3lb increments in a chris cross manor did the trick and the rear head no longer leaks air... The old girl had a renewed vigor when on the gas...:-) Which is good...Except I guess some of that old oil got on the rear brakes which left me with just the fronts and some coaster brakes...OH well live and learn The exhaust valve did need to be adjusted just as Max said...after the head torque.. I fitted the D breather and did my best to seal the push rod seals into their recesses.. I sealed up the stock breather though I will need to do a better job of that...it looks pretty bad..Is it true that a ET24/3 plug will seal up the stock breather hole in the case? I gave the bike a good bath and then we went for a brief shake down ride... She does pull better and seems to run soother at idle... There are still a host of leaks now seemingly from the front as I have drips on the mag cover but that could just be my lousy stock breather seal job...I'll work on it... The D breather does spit oil and I was thinking if a fine mesh screen in the tappet cover would help keep the oil out of the pipe? What do ye say? Thanks all for you input...We are getting there..
