    Thanks, I searched high and low but could not come up with that.

    if you have time for another question…My rear cylinder Rocker box started leaking oil in the right rear corner where it connects to the head.
    I pulled it off and checked it with a straight edge and it is warped.
    Should I have it machined flat again or spend the $200+ for a new one.
    Just wondering what is the best route to go.
    Thanks

    If you machine it your chrome will start peeling.

    Thanks, i did not even consider that. Well what I did was took some wood and some light body work hammers and tap, tap, tapped it back to less than .002 in the right rear corner, put new gaskets and torqued everything according to the book, that is a lesson learned -don’t run this thing in slow traffic and get it too hot!. i ran it for a while and it showed no leakage, it sure loves to blow fire out that rear pipe when it is cold, it goes away when it gets warm. The 4, 1 inch bolts got snugged very close to torque, there was no way to reach them. OMG don’t get me started on the pushrod tubes using a screwdriver…what a pita. I will buy the tool for next time. I just about got all the leaks stopped, I only have one small one where the oil filter housing bolts on to fix and then I’ll be done for a while.
