So its that time again and i need help identifying part numbers, last time i did this job i had a problem but can't remember exactly but i think the nut would not come loose so i had to take the adjuster screw out with the nut on it and take it to a local shop to help me get it loose without damaging it.
This time i want to buy a few extra adjuster screws and nuts in case i have this problem again but I'm not sure if the parts in the fiche at ron ayers are the correct parts as i don't really know what they are called, if anyone can help me identify the correct part number with link that would be great. 1986 concours

Thank You very much T-Crow, found it and ordered 3 of each as backup. 8) Do i need to change the well seal gaskets around the spark plugs? i have done this on ever valve check but is it really necessary, and how bout the valve cover gasket? i put on a new valve cover gasket too but have re-used it three times.
-
I have found that if I don't replace the plug well gaskets I some times get oil in the plug wells. So I use new ones when I replace the valve cover. As far as the valve cover I haven't replaced it in yrs. Never seems to leak so I'll just reuse it 'til it does.
-
okay thanks for that info.
-
I replaced my cam cover gasket at about 180k miles, roughly twelve years. It was starting to get brittle. Well gaskets and spark plugs get renewed whenever I'm in there.
-
I went ahead and ordered them both, i too change my plugs at valve checks but this time don't think i need to since i just put in new ones 4k ago.
-
I forgot what kind of RTV i used the last time, all i remember is its black, how high temperature do i need?
-
Any one know what temp of RTV to use on the valve cover, I used black rtv last time and from my search i think it was max temp 500, i guess thats enough because it's been three years and no leaks.
-
Virtually any automotive RTV silicon will be fine. Red, blue, grey, black, all work well on a clean, oil free surface.
-
I recently did my valves and replaced the gaskets on my '87 ZL1000 with new ones. I read using "Form-A-Gasket's" "Ultra-Black" RTV. It states that it's used for engine oil gaskets like valve covers and such. I put a thin film on the surfaces. So far no leaks, but I do have to check the plug wells soon.

I Adjusted the valves last week, had 2 intake valves that was closed up completely and a 3rd intake almost closed, had a few exhaust that was loose, i set them all to 007 - 009 but my #4 carb is still coughing into the airbox, not as bad but it still does it just off ideal so I'm guessing i didn't get the carb ideal circuit clean when i rebuilt the carbs, it does start much easier now when cold and still runs very good.
I replaced the well seals but reused the valve cover gasket because it was still in great shape, i used black RTV with a high temp of 500f.
I thought the exhaust valves was the ones to tighten up but it seems my bike is reverse.
