Looking for a head or ARM, VALVE ROCKER

Let me know if any one has VALVE ROCKER arm and SCREW, TAPPET ADJ. or a front head assembly.

 

That sounds like serious damage !! Pictures, please, and an explanation if possible.

 

I think I can scrounge that up, 86 700 correct?

 

Yes 86

I think im going to buy a whole head off ebay. I new there was some problem in the motor and took it in to have the valves adjusted. Found that one tappet was missing the lock nut probably in the oil pan. Mech went to install and new nut and found that the valve rockers threads and screw are stripped. So i new one new valve rocker and a tappet screw. No on has them in stock.

 

So all you need is a rocker assembly? That I have ton of those. The heads I have in the garage are 87 heads and do not have the hole for the cam speed sensor machine oot but still may have an 86 head in the attic. If you just needs some rockers PM your info and I will get them oot to you Monday.

 

Great I will

I need to figure out how to MESSAGE

 

It's all done with the keyboard, m8 !

Who set the valves last and when ?? Those nuts only fall off if someone screwedup imo.

 

Really

I've only had it a few weeks.

 

Got the parts from Toe Cutter. Great guy knew just what i needed. Mechanic is getting on first thing tomorrow. Ill update after

 

:thumb::thumb: to Toe!

 

It was my pleasure, hopefully it is up and running soon and we can all go for a ride at next SLO gathering.

 

Follow up

Here is the update. Got it back from mech and installed a new radiator original was mangled. Tank, fairing, seat ect. Fired right up nice and quite for a vfr, loud ticking noise gone. Revs quicker. Took if out on the freeway and was amazed at how it does 80-85 effortless. Super smooth no vibrations. Now I got a VFR!

 

Good deal. Another satisfied customer, thanks to Toe.

 

Good news then if you're up and running, and thanks to our Mother Theresa, who saves another sinner's butt !!

I'd advise checking coolant level under radiator cap after the first time the engine reaches full operating temp, then cools off, cuz level usually goes down if the system wasn't very carefully bled after a radiator change, and the overflow bottle just might not replenish the system as it's designed to.

 

Good suggestion. It took about half a gallon but I will check.

 

Did a 40 mile jount and checked the level in the radiator and its full. Now I need to replace the rear disk and pads.
