    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Another half moon lip in or out question

From what I've read, one of the reason's to run the lip in is to take care of some cam walk that MIGHT make a noise.

So here's my situation. If I run the lip's in, they will rub the cam's on one side. Is this normal to have my cam's that far off center. Or are they in the process of walking to that side, and it will straighten out. I can't budge the cam, but I didn't try very hard.

If I leave them lip in, I'm afraid that I will get a constant rubbing of the moon. Is that something to worry about, or is that what I'm after. I'm just worried where's that rubber going to end up. Or, should I just put the lip's out and forget about it. Thanks.
 
Flip a coin then install it In or Out.

It just doesn't matter....
 
On my 850, The lip won't fit on the inside. It's that far off. No big deal, the casting tolerances allowed for that.

If the cam should bump the plug, that might be OK, and quiet a cam end walk. If it is rubbing against the plug, it will wear the plastic, which will end up in your oil, then your bearings, etc. Apart from that issue, the only wrong way to install the plugs is any way that leaks. The lip doesn't have much to do with that.
 
I didn't want the cam rubbing on the rubber and ending up in my oil, so I just put em out. ;)
 
I have never ONCE had them leak installing them as they Come from the Factory.
If Suzuki thought that there was a problem, they would have changed the design long ago.
