Actually yeah, whoever had the valve cover off last cross threaded a bolt so it broke off the first turn i made, luckily it was one of the short ones that only went in the cover instead of the head. Took it to a shop cuz I didn't want to screw up the valve cover with an easy out...

Setting the valve clearance is easy. It just takes a lot of time, some extra shims and a tool that z1enterprises sells. Your bike will love you for it.
