I will check the drain boltThe posting is a bit behind the actual work. The previous owner claimed the stem seals were bad, but it's not only the seals, the valve guides feels worn too.I will at least check the condition of the piston rings before I use them. Good tip there.Nice report threre. I saw that you were replacing the bearings for steering. On what milage did you do that?The posting is draging behind the actual work. My plan from the beginning vas to change the stem seals. Wich means removing the cylinder head, dissasembling it and putting everything together again. But it wasent that easy.And a question. Is the centrum-centrum distance on carbs on the 850 the same as the centrum-centrum distance of the intakes on the 900?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Hi, regarding cenre points on 850-900, where the gas goes in. Yes they are the same, but the mounting for the carbs is quite different from the injection system
