Hello, I just bought a 1995 fe501 on the cheap. It has a broken timing chain and exhaust rocker, I was going to part it out , but after tearing the engine down I think I will fix it.
Here's the problem:
1. The bike has had a DVSK installed - looks recent. The springs are hitting the inside of the rocker box, they didn't grind it for clearance. IT DOES HOWEVER APPEAR, THAT THEY GROUND A BUNCH OF MATERIAL OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE EXHAUST ROCKER. The unbroken tappet has ample clearance between the rocker and spring retainer. Were these hogged out on the bottom from the factory, or did someone do this? If so is there a reason for it? Doesn't look like it needed clearanced.
2. The little decompression cam has been ground completely flat on the bottom. Looks like a hack job, and not correct. Did the factory "hand file" these parts or has it been *****?
Thanks in advance for any help.
