CB750 K1 valve wear at end with pics
« on: January 12, 2011, 04:42:32 AM »
Upon stripping down the K1, I noticed that the end of the valve where the tappet adjuster strikes has pits in it.  Are the valves still good or should they be replaced?  Thanks.

id say the top picture looks like it was run forever with excessive clearance.  looks like the rocker arm adjuster screww been slamming down on it a little much.  the bottom valve looks ok.
