I think I've done something wrong!

SeanFD:
That’s be grand, sure!  ;D

I’ actually off to the States next week so I’m going to see what I can find there.

Seabeowner:
There is a cheaper one. What do you think of the wear. Or is this the one you ordered?

SeanFD:
He actually had 4 of these on his website - 400fourbits.co.uk. The one I was going to get (at £60) turned out to have a chunk missing, rather like mine.

I have found another which looks better. Just waiting on response to my offer.

SeanFD:
Hi everyone,

I'm back from Belfast, N America, having covered some 14,500 miles on my 750 K2. There were a few hiccoughs along the way but the old girl made it. She has a, now, serious oil leak from, I think, the cylinder head gasket joint That I will have to sort out before continuing in NZ, but that's a story for another day.

So I'm back to Rusty and her top-end. I've installed the new camshaft and sprocket. Because the washer thing I mentioned earlier was warped a bit, and Because N Julie said it was absent on all but the latest F2s, I decided to leave it out.

Sprocket was successfully attached, but I noticed there was a bit of lateral movement after torquing the bolts - about 1-2mm. I don't think this is because I omitted the washer, but what do y'all (American influence  :D) think?

SeanFD:
I went ahead without the washer/spacer and put the rocker cover on.

Even with a;; the tappet adjustment screws fully out the cover didn't sit flat on the cylinder head, and when I rotated the engine, it moved, rocking  :)up and down a bit on a L/R axis.

Hand tightening the bolts, just until they touched stopped this rocking, but I was hoping for some reassurance, before tightening everything, that this was normal.
