Timing Cover screws...

[Sascha]

I lost one of those puney little timing cover screws... Geez! I could have sworn I put enough lock tight on her; anyone got a spare? At least the other two kept their bite... not in dire need at all.

Has this happened to anyone else?

not with the timing cover, but i did with a mint original badge.lost it forever. so then i loc-tited a replacement. then i had to remove it...ever try to drill out a screw that size? what i do now is smear a small amount of silicone where the screw or bolt head contacts.(not the threads, just the head) a thin film, let it dry, then the silicone acts as a grip and a vibration insulator. learned that from a diesel mechanic. i only use loc tite on parts that i hope will never have to be taken apart again. sorry i dont have one. but give this a shot.

loctite comes in many grades

one for every application

including easy removal. and types that need up to only 300f heat will let it out.

you lucky
im missing both those long , JIS (unabtainium) screws.
whole bike done, and missing 2 silly screws.

id hate to bugger head with helicoils.
