Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris
from compressed air could cause serious eye injury.
Wear safety glasses when working with compressed air.
Never use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air flow rates. (00061a)
1. Clean all parts in a non-volatile cleaning solution or solvent.
2. Thoroughly dry all parts with low pressure compressed
air.
ASSEMBLY
1. See Figure 3-1. Insert stem of
through center hole at top of breather baffle. Use denatured alcohol or glass cleaner to lubricate stem. Carefully pull rubber bead on stem through hole in baffle.
Verify that rubber bead is pulled completely through hole
and resides on bottom side of baffle.
2. Press
3. Place breather baffle gasket on a clean flat surface.

ROCKER HOUSING3.6
VALVE SPRING TO ROCKER HOUSING CLEARANCE
1. After torquing cylinder head bolts, continue top end overhaul by installing the rocker housings. See ASSEMBLY
under TOP END OVERHAUL in the Touring Models Service Manual.
2. Install a
flange.
Even though all bolt holes (rocker housing, rocker arm
support plate and breather assembly) may appear to be
in alignment, the rocker housing gasket may be installed
upside down. An upside down gasket will result in an
open breather channel causing an oil leak when the vehicle is started, possibly resulting in engine and/or property damage.
3. See Figure 3-2. Ver ify that the rocker housing gasket is
installed correctly by noting that the breather channel is
concealed.
4. With the indent facing forward, place the rocker housing
into position aligning the holes in the housing with those
in the gasket.

5. Apply a small dab of LOCTITE THREADLOCKER 243
(blue) (HD-99642-97) to threads of six rocker housing
bolts.
6. See Figure 3-3. Start the rocker housing bolts, two long
bolts on the left side of the engine, four intermediate
bolts in the interior.
NOTE
Rocker housing and rocker cover bolts have both an internal
and external hex, which allows the bolts to be installed with
either a short 3/16 inch allen wrench (tight spaces), or a 7/16
inch socket or open end/box wrench (open spaces). If the
engine is left in the chassis for service, the short 3/16 inch
allen wrench is indispensable when installing the rocker
housing and rocker cover bolts on the left side of the engine
(particularly the rear) where there is close proximity to the
frame.
7. From the cam cover side, press rocker cover diagonally
toward the intake valve.
8. See Figure 3-5. Snug bolts in torque sequence to hold
housing in position. Do not torque.
9. See Figure 3-4. Using a feeler gauge, check for clear-
ance around both valve spring assemblies and the
rocker housing.

around springs, loosen rocker cover bolts and press on
side of cover opposite contact point to produced noticeable clearance between housing and valve assembly.
