The washers stick in the head recesses but if really missing are still available new.On the adjuster is the thread stripped all the way down or just at the end? Honda should never have put that slot in there it gets abused.New pattern ones are available but expensive and dont often come up used in good order any more.I MAY have a used one but it wont be cheap
Its been a pretty good morning so far. Head and barrels now removed and time for a rest and some tea. Just a couple of worries along the way: 1) I only have 11 head bolt washers, not 12 so where is the 12th, was there ever a 12th? ( I have used an inspection lamp to look down the cam chain tunnel and I cant see anything in there, I have given the head a good shake and it hasnt fallen out. 2) the screwdriver slot on the cam chain tensioner adjuster screw is stripped out/snapped off. Waiting for my son to come round later this morning to help remove the forks.
Are we talking here about the captive type stud/bolt that is normally part of the tensioner blade - not available as a separate part? Is your tensioner blade in otherwise good condition.
found on mine that you need a magnet to tell if washer is stuck to head on some of the less accessable ones
As long as the nut screws on leave it alone as you dont need that slot
