intake valve oiler

[awander]

ANybody got a photo of a properly-installed intake valve oiler? The manual only says to make sure it is "3/32" fronm the rocker arm? but doesn;t say in which direction......

It'll only go on one way. The dripper should be above the valve stem/rocker arm. As far as how much clearance ya need, as long as the rocker arm doesn't hit the oiler on its way up, you should be cool. A very large percentage of panheads out there aren't runnin em. In theory, they were probably a good idea. In reality I'm not so sure. I guess they probably couldn't hurt....bosheff

I took this picture about 2 weeks ago...changing out my Gaskets
Not exactly the angle you are looking for.......may give a rough idea

My Pan also didn't have them installed when I first got the bike ..........

KB65 - If you haven't put it back together yet you might want to change out those 2 non-locking nuts for a couple lockers. And check the other head & see what it has up there. Hate to have one of those come loose, it wouldn't be good.

Good advice.....I still have time to change them out......just had my frame painted and am hoping to put the engine back next weekend.... Thanks
