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 ...

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.

Bravo!

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

Aries, how's the rest of them look, did you chase them all to be sure?
