All was going well.
Last night, I was putting on the final touches to my 1K Km service. And then .. that unmistakable sinking feeling, when the LAST (8th) cam cover bolt 'gave', as I was tightening down ... My story in pictures ...
Ooops. There is a limit of 10 pics show TBD ...

Excellent report as always. Thanks, Aris.
When i get my '79 inside, i will be doing the exact same thing. Noticed a leak and found the bolt finger tight. Pulled it and found a glob of silicone. P.O.S....previous owner syndrome.

Good job Aris. I'm sure you found this repair more straightforward and easier than many you've conquered on this bike!
