is there anything I should know about that could be a problem. i'm pulling the head and replacing valves and springs
and timing chain. the only reason I ask is sometimes when you remove something you have a small part that comes out
and then you dont know what or where it goes
thanks ED

 

Youe wont have to many extra things , just use plastic baggies or some sort of container like a fishing box that has alot of differant sections to orgainze your nuts and bolts. Lable them it will help. I just got done turning my KFX-700 into a FST- 800 and added new valve springs and cams.

 

thanks.

 

Like MURDR said, theres not much that you have to worry about.

What valvesprings are you going with, do you know about the DRZe valvesprings?

 

I bought the kibblewhite stainless steel valves and springs
hope they're good. everything I have read about them says they're great
I kinda messed up the top end at the dunes over new years. timing chain came loose
so time to redo the top end

 

Not much to worry about. They are pretty simple.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

cool. I didnt think it would be hard, was just checking to make sure
starting it tomorrow, got the new valves and springs today so I'll have
the head ready for the cam chain when it shows up sometime next week

 

I have a repair manual, so if you need any specs let me know. Just make sure your valve lash is OK. Thats the main thing I would worry about. Hot Cams website should have the correct specs on that.

 

I found the specs for my cams. just waiting for the shim kit and chain to show up
I have the service manual so thanks anyway for the offer
I just hope that when I pull it apart I dont find any more problems

 

get a manual cam chain tensioner....or is your automatic one still ok?
