I finally tracked down my very minor leak. I have a drip coming from the front most plug on the right side of the cylinder head. My guess is that the gasket/seal is bad. The problem is, I cannot get an Allen wrench in there as the frame rail is in the way. Does anyone know of a tool or trick to service this w/o moving the engine.

Are you talking about the valve cover bolts?
Take an L shaped Allen and just use the short side... -
No. There are plugs on the side of the engine, two on the left and two on the right. The PC I am on does not have a Snipping tool, but go to this link and look at #29 and #30 (gasket) on the schematic:

Ahh, those im unsure. Might have to drop the engine from the cradleComment

That is what I am afraid of. Ugh! Thinking I might try a ball end or cutting the short end of an Allen wrench down to squeeze in there. Just have to figure the size.Last edited by TripleKing; 06-03-2016, 08:59 PM.Comment

Not hard to just tilt the motor down with a floor jack."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

It's 8 bolts to tilt the motor forward. If you need lots of room, remove the front forks. Just leave a single bolt in the bottom engine cradle each side, and it will pivot up and down easily. Use a ratchet strap or engine jack to raise/lower the engine.
