[QUOTE="skierjet, post: 734387, member: 49638"] Just rebuilt the top end on my '92 KDX200 (FMF Fatty, FMF Turbine Core, 45/155 1173 jetting, air box mod, fresh carb) and the job went off very smoothly except for one thing. The Kips rod retaining screw was so tight, I couldn't budge it without stripping the head. I am referring to the SCREW and not the Shaft Retaining NUT. Upon insp., the KIPS valves were fairly clean and operating smoothly already, so I decided to leave them in place, and continue with the rebuild. I did, however, work a bunch of carb cleaner through the valves, rinsed thoroughly, and relubed everything. I put it all back together with new Wiseco Piston/rings, gaskets, and it kicked right over on the second try. After several warm up cycles, I got it out an ran it like a top for an hour. Question is - When I go to clean the KIPS next time, how, will I get this screw out (and the rod retainer) to complete the job? Can this be drilled out then extracted easily? Should I simply clean next time with the cleaner and not disassemble if the valves are not to dirty? Eventually this will have to be tackled. Thanks for any advice. [/QUOTE]
