Hi Vincent, i have the short tank rubbers now. I tried without but still touches. The bracket is from Karol.

It is too close to the tank and it touches the panel even with the distance washer (4829-36) installed.

After a while i managed to start the VH for the first time Is that oil return enough?? This is after around 15 minutes of running. Pressure gauge shows 15psi.

Let’s see if it works and for how long.

Further to the head/valve/rocker issues i have decided to prepare a 34’ (i believe) cylinder head i have to fit in case the one I have now installed can’t be fixed properly. The problem is that I don’t know how the head bolts look like. I found the P/N and some dims of the bolts from the 34’ spare ...

Do you use powder coat as well?

Hi Volker, indeed there isn’t much space to shorten the valve. It looks like that without the cap.
