So far so good. Bike fired right up with no leaks yet. Took few minutes for lifter to quiet down and now it sounds like a sewing machine. There was no getting the ball end out of the head. It twisted in there. Lesson learned. Don't be a torque **** or if you are go buy better stuff. Should have got ball hex when I bought my sk hex set.

I have a few ball end allens around here somewhere...I used them a lot in my aircraft fixin' days and broke many over the years. In fact, I broke so many that I eventually quit using them because the ones I used the most were all broken. Snap-on got to where they would not replace them when they broke and Craftsman were not all that good to begin with...eventually I got tired of buying more and all I have left are those odd-sizes that I rarely used anyway.
