Pics are worth a thousand. Not BS'ing. The Douche Bag that sent me this back....and I refunded his money because he "knew the material sucked" should run off the road. A jackass out of San Francisco. Rot in hell ahole. Don't prepare the stem tips properly....... this is what you get.

It just so happens that I am working on an F2 right now so I got some pics of tappets.  Unfortunately, I could not get pics of the valve stem as I am not taking the head apart right now.  These are from a bike with 16,000 on the odo, which I have no reason to doubt.  I ended up replacing 4 of the 8 tappets with better ones from a scrap K3

The ones I left alone looked like this.

Here is one showing one big pit.  The associated valve stem looked ok peaking through the inspection cover and down through the empty rocker.  The valve clearance was still correct or close.

This one was associated with a pitted valve stem tip and was chewed to hell with over twice the recommended valve clearance showing.
