@ John, I'm about to pull the heads. Is there something to look for before I loosen the head bolts that might indicate a stud pulling out of the case? (Besides it being obviously loose.) And if 1 does seem loose then should I try and torque it now to see if it is holding in the case?
*I caught the bug and did decide to make a few mild changes to it. Got a Big Sucker stage 1 to replace the hypercharger (I'll need a cover if anyone has a lead on 1.), a stage 1 carb tuning kit, an EV27 cam with a Torrington bearing, and Cometic gaskets with .030" head gaskets. Is there clearance, or is it smart, to mill the heads down about .060"? I've also read that SE II slip ons work well with a mild build like this. Is that true or should I look for a complete exhaust system?
