Well, that's very interesting. I used silicone RTV on the valve cover to seal it. I'm sure none actually got on the O2 sensor but I suppose the fumes would have. Would that do it?

I might be mistaken but I don't think anyone has received them yet. It's the final (maybe) item I'm waiting for.

Now that's also a good possibility. I had all the fuel stuff off when I checked the valve clearances and it's possible I didn't get everything buttoned up tight. I would guess this could be hard to...

Cardboard

On the contrary HighFive - I very much enjoyed your cardboard template response. Even showed it to my wife with a chuckle. Having come from a cheap ass KLR background I thought it was very clever.
