After reading more on setting the valves, I decided to redo them. I did not take up the vertical slack on the rocker arms the first time, and each rocker arm had slack. I also reviewed the Owners manual which recommends setting the valves:
- Intake .15mm
- Exhaust .20mm
The BMW MOA July ON magazine Keep them Flying article had a article just on setting valves on airheads, and they do recommend the same valve settings.
I had .10/.20, and had vertical slack, so I felt it was worth redoing them.
I also installed the center stud on the right side head which had come loose. The threads seem ok, but I used blue loctite on the stud, I will hand tighten after 24 hours.
