HI Guys,
last night i removed the old conical valve springs from my 07 FE650e head. I fitted out the outer spring of the DVSK as it says in the instructions and checked the rocker cover for a fit and it slipped right on. i thought this was strange as the instructions say i will need to hone out some of the alloy, but when i look up inside the rocker cover it appears that there are already 4 hone marks over each valve spring. Is this normal? On the document pictures where Taffy is putting the red felt pen that honing is NOT there.
Just to make sure i put some white mark up paint on the rocker and wrapped a cable tie around the top of the spring and fitted it up again and it still slipped straight on! Installed height of the springs is 36mm. So i grabbed the feeler guages and they slipped down beside them easily too through the tappet inspection cover holes. The engine has never had the rocker off before so I'm guessing that honing is factory on the 2007 model?
