I going to be doing a valve adjustment and some general loving on my head pretty soon. I'm getting the parts/tools together that I'm going to order and had a couple questions. I figured I'd have more questions when I start it (or at least pictures!) so I'll start my official thread
![Very Happy](https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/core/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Firstly, my bike is missing the metal covers that go on the outside over the ends of the camshafts, overtop of the "D" plugs. They were missing when I got it. Do I need these? Apart from being nice and shiny, I imagine they may be protecting the plastic "D" plugs from weathering? They're not too expensive, but I'm on a very tight budget. Four new ones will cost me $67.
My Purchase List:
-Valve Shim Tool (Z1, $14)
-"D" Plugs (Z1, $13)
-25 blade metric feeler gauges (Z1, $14)
-Cyc Head Gasket (GSSuzuki, $16)
-Breather Gasket (GSSuzuki, $6)
I'm also replacing all the bolts, and the oil separator mesh things in the breather. It's probably fine, but they're really cheap and I like to be complete.
I'm also ordering some other stuff not associated with the head, such as petcock gasket, clutch/throttle cables, lube/lube tool, various nuts and bolts (I like to replace *ALL* the nuts/bolts just because they are probably originals on there and stressed over the years). Do you guys recommend a cable lube tool like this one? I plan on replacing all the cables soon.
I've shopped around on various sites. Z1 seems to be the best, but they don't have everything. GSSuzuki seems to be the cheapest source of OEM parts.
Anyway, thanks! And I'll definitely post some pictures.
