A look at the 2.5 Innards - DIY 20K mile service, including valve clearance check and shim replacement

[Journeyman]

hi @Journeyman
how did you torque and tighten the camshaft bolt back with makeshift wrench and socket to 10Nm?

I had to estimate it- really didn't like doing that, but my small torque wrench would not fit in that small space.

Thank you for sharing the repair process. The compression value of the middle cylinder of my Rocket 3 is 0. I don’t know where the nileak is. Could it be related to the throttle?

Just finished the 40K mile service, including timing, valve adjustment, and new clutch install and have the cuts on my scalp to prove it . She pulls so much harder and smoothly and shifts like butter. I shot video of the entire process, but it's going to take some time to edit it all together.

Can't wait to see it.

@Kevin frazier You'll be getting a shout out, when I do post, for walking me off a ledge.

At one point I thought I may have botched it- I was not in the right state of mind at the time to be taking on that project and probably should have picked another weekend to make the deep dive.

Luckily, it all turned out exceptionally well. Runs like new, but new with the Penner Tune installed, and shifts oh, so, smooth.....
