[QUOTE="timoyz, post: 171377, member: 10"] And it being a just bought 03 Honda, I see major red flags. When valves are old, and have been adjusted many times, each concurrent adjustment will last less, and less time. So bad, that it will only last 10, or 15 minutes when it gets to the end of it's service life. Sound familiar? Now for some more questions. Do you know the previous owner? Did he know the head was toast, and did a shim and sell? When was the last time the bike had a complete valve job? How many hours are on that valve job? When was the last valve clearance check? How many shim sizes were needed? How many times have each valve needed to be re-shimmed? Is re-shimmed even a real word? Listen to the masses. If your carb is clean, and you have a spark, do a valve job before one of those tuliped valves snap, and you have to add a lot more parts to your list. [/QUOTE]
