yes, i often just browse these forums to find answers if iam working on whatever it is iam working on... But man talked to the mechanic the just quickly looked at the valve appears that there is nothing wrong but havent really gave a good look yet. So now just waiting for them to let me know after they look at it and after they look at it man.. I am just going to put it back together and suck up the bill that they are going to hawk at me. SUCKS but man I learned so much from this. i can take off the head so freaking fast on the rear cyclinder now that i ve taken the rocker off so many times and back on.. well i'll let yall know somthing once i hear somthing..
