Message: [QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 580969, member: 16552"] 1. You need a manual. In lieu of, 'please observe the following'. I don't understand the 'insert T-handle' part myself. T-handle means 'allen' to me, and it's not an allen. Your model (H4/1998) kdx has a nut (92015A) that attaches the actuating rod to the main shaft. What CDave is referring to is observation of this nut to ensure the activating spring assy is operating correctly when the engine is revved (+6000rpm). If the assy is not moving, the activating system isn't working. Maybe he's looking at your nick (91kdx) with the t-handle ref? It's different from yours, but it still has a nut...I think. Anyway...I [b]said[/b] I didn't get it. IF it is being activated properly, 'please observe the following': With a socket on the LH side of the KIPS, you can [b]manually[/b] activate the KIPS. With the pipe off, looking up inside the exhaust port and with manual activation you can ensure the subport drums (12005/005a) and main valve (12005c) are moving as they should. The subport drums should rotate in sync and come to rest in the same relative position (they rotate in opposite directions). I'd hazard a guess that if you don't [b]know[/b] what you're looking for, you won't be able to discern what shape your head is in as far as volume (cc), squish angle and such. Same for port heights. ***Miss the 'left hand thread' note (if you take the KIPS apart), and you will likely cause [b]serious[/b] damage to your kdx!! Either immediately, or at some most inopportune time. Howzthat!!?? [/QUOTE]
