Not loose i should say...

Is the battery ground wire grounded good the frame?? @uponahill

What is a valve guide arbor? Do you use it to remove the guides. If not, how would I remove a guide.

You might could contact a local dealer??

Haven't tried it yet. Just now got home.

Thanks Kenfain!

THANKS FOR ALL THE FEEDBACK!!!

Decided on Castrol GTX 10W40 conventional. Walmart 4 $ a bottle!!

NIGHT! One final point, i need a valve guide arbor to get them out according to the manual, but its a SPECIAL TOOL.

I found a video, where the guides where uneven, and the tallest one wasn't letting the intake go down far enough cause the top of the valve spring kept hitting the guide... I think we can call this case closed. Verdict i believe is. The tallest is the guilty party. What do you think gentleman of the jury ?

That's what seems right me....

Here is a diagram http://www.kawasakipartshouse.com/oemparts/a/kaw/500b24b0f8700223e478dbed/cylinder-head

But im not sure if one got pushed down, or the other got pushed up...?

YES

Im also thinking maybe when i put the springs back on it might push the guide back down IDK?

Here it is with the valves installed.

I'll try to get you some pics..... to better explain.

Well whenever i put the valves in the end sticking out lines up even?

out of allllllllll the dang diagrams i've looked at the guides are the same size, just they fell/got pushed up..... Im bout ready to get my hands on a Japanese.....

If i run it with them un even will it cause any damage?

I can not move the guide at all!

Im trying to figure out if the guides are supposed to be even, or un even OR WHAT??
