KIPS
vagassasson:
I am starting this thread because of the lack of info iI have ran into on correctly setting up kips valves. The bike I am currently working on is 98 k5 . It had good compression but still did not want to produce the legendary power that I had experianced on other k5s. From what I could tell the KIPS was not installed properly and the drums were worn so that the alignment dots were not all visible. What I'm looking for is a fool proof method of knowing my KIPS are installed correctly.
I have read http://www.hallbergs.net/kx500/#33 . It is a good top end guide but there is not enough info on it for what I need. I currently have my head apart so if we need pictures of anything let me know

Pictures of the valves outside of the head on the sides I think they should go in
vagassasson:
Here are some pictures of the kips assembled the way i think is correct with the valves closed all the way so the ports are exposed

Remember head is upside down so right is left and left is right
