Make sure you have that shop manual when you are attempting all of this or follow the instructions in previous links.
You are not undoing the top end and saving having to remove fuel tank and replace those gaskets, unless you have to of course.

Shop manual came today and I'll have the s&s video in the garage when I attempt this. Just waiting on a member to get back to me on a cam tool and I'll be ready to start this work.
