    Default Anyone have a screw loose in their head?

    Don't let this happen to you!

    Here's where one of my banjo bolts was when I took off the valve cover one day:




    Here is what it looks like after Don Gale's banjo bolt kit is installed. What would you rather see?


    (Well maybe this one is a bit under lubed at the moment...)

    Get Don's kit here.

    Ohh, that reminds me maybe to ask Gale to send a shipment to Japan also for my 750 Highline under restauration. Took the first valve cover off, that looks pretty good, bolts all fixed/none lose, camshaft clean and no groves like a baby's face, the other side still has to go off when it get's warmer here.

    Nice work Dan, good to see someone else is clearly practicing the principles of safe lubrication (as we all do! **cough cough**- do we Jeff?)

    I think Gale should have a sticky thread for supplying these things, its kind of like making condom's available to sex addicts, (these drilled nuts for Bimmer owners!)

    Now, for the greater good; who knows what engines require this modification? All M30 and which others?
