Well i finally thought it was time to rebuild the head on my zuke as the valve stem oil seals are on there way out and she was smoking like a trooper! nice and simple job eh! but why oh why did suzuki decide to use crosshead screws to bolt down the rocker shafts! whats wrong with a good old bolt that is nice and easy to remove!
