I got 2 very interesting follow-ups to my "1st valve adjustment" post
by email that never seemed to make it to the egroup list. Must have
been lost in the NKLR "noise". One was a concern about the effect of
machining on the hardened surface and the other about the final
smoothness of the end product. I don't believe the hardened surface
would be effected as long since the flat grinder used has a
continuous flow of lubricating / cooling fluid. And the second
concern should be addressed by putting the machined side against the
bucket. What is the group's opinion? (Carnivorous and Herbivorors
opinions welcomed).

Gary,
Didn't see or notice your important post amongst the 'noise' so my offering
may have no relevance or may already have been addressed, but FWIW: my
experience with hardened surfaces comes from 'blueprinting' engines.
Hardened surfaces on any part I have ever seen (engine related) only affect
the item to a depth of a few thousandths of an inch (I'm metrically
challenged). Machining these surfaces to alter shape and/or thickness will
generally get thru the hardened surface which then requires that the "new"
part be re-hardened if the same wear factor is required.

Gary, I'll kick in with something else. If you didn't apply
anti-seize to the valve cover bolts do it upon the next inspection.
Electro-something corrosion. Don't ask how I know. Bogdan

Does anyone know offhand what headlight and cowl the Marines are using
on their KLRs? They look very much like the ones from KLR250s. Has
anyone seen a Marine KLR650 up close? What are they using to attach
the headlight assebmly?
