[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 202768, member: 1650"] Well after you are about 20 more deep in the rebuilds I would probably hire you to work on my stuff. Just find the balance fast on what is a waste of money and what isn't. the rule of thumb and the other 4 fingers for me is that a tool that is USED, MAKES you money, and is not wasted. Useable torque wrenches are available for under 25 dollars everywhere. Once you get one, use it ONLY, ONLY, ONLY for fastening things down, not tearind down. Never go past the scale or even within 10% of it's max. If you end up having to have the head resurfaced, along with gaskets, you will find out how cheap the wrench WOULD have been. The paper manuals which are still easier to page through cover to cover will beat trying to find something online more times than not. Time is worth something, being thorough and getting it right the first time, especially for the green years, and you can send the manual with the bike, unless you are concerned that you may buy a similar bike in the future (i think the best money is made on the little bikes). So your idea of what a waste is and mine REALLY differ there. I am really glad you haven't tried a 4 stroke yet!!! [/QUOTE]
