You have one. If not I can copy the instructions down for you.
These valve's you do cold.

About that second illustration, is that from the standard manual or one of your personal references? It is a very interesting illustration and one I do not recall seeing before?

Hi Steve
Yep
It's from the original 1975 Honda Workshop Manual that I have,
not the (later) reprint. (in which one will not find it).
