Author Message   Drfuyutsuki Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 06:44 pm:        Need a little help: I pulled my rocker boxes to change out the gaskets this weekend but think I may have reversed them, back to front front to back, when I put them back on. Question 1) Does it matter? Question 2) If yes, what are the part #'s for the rocker boxes on up for each cylinder? (Message edited by drfuyutsuki on March 28, 2005)   Road_thing Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 11:44 pm:        rt 1) I don't think so 2) See 1) above (Message edited by road_thing on March 29, 2005)   Buelliedan Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 08:14 am:        I'm not sure if I understand question 2 but if you put the rocker boxes back with the umbrella valves in wrong then yes it does matter. The umbrella valves need to be installed to the highest portion of the cylnders. If installed at the lowest you are going to lose a lot of oil..   Road_thing Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 09:25 am:        Dan is correct about the umbrellas! rt   Bluzm2 Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 10:30 am:        If you're going to keep the stock rocker boxes, you need to do the "fix". It's well documented an photoed in the Knowlege Vault. Brad   Drfuyutsuki Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 01:18 pm:        The question in the end was whether or not the rocker boxes are interchangable between the front and rear cylinders, sorry for the confusion. Bluz, I searched the KV but couldn't find the post your talking about could you put up a link please? I will check the umbrellas tonight to make sure I did it right, but pretty sure I put the umbrellas in the correct side. Josh   Buelliedan Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 02:08 pm:        Yes, they are interchangeable. As long as the umbrellas are in the upper position you are fine.   Bluzm2 Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 03:55 pm:        Here's a link to a picture I posted a while back. The lower picture is the modified cover. Also note that he drain back hole has been drilled out to 1/8". You only need to do one side of each middle cover. Just the "top" side toward the intake. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=3842&post=183773#POST183773 (Message edited by bluzm2 on March 29, 2005)   Drfuyutsuki Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 05:17 pm:        Bluz, I have already drilled out the drain back hole, I will Chamfer the umbrella seats tonight when I pull the covers to make sure the umberalla's are on the intake side. Thanks to all for the info. Josh
