RE: Rocker Cover removal
Well like Blown 331 said......Pretty easy removal. Think draining the tank and etc took more time than it did to remove the rocker covers. No problems but I found front and back gaskets like in the picture I posted. Got the new gasket kit with the metal ones. Some of the bolts were easy to remove and other were still torqued down. Well this way when it goes back together everthing will be torqued to spects.......boy oh boy...I wish I had the bucks to put a big bore kit in....just pull the carb and the heads and etc......ah maybe next year

Do not re-torque the heads. They are torque to yield fastners: Torque + 1/4 turn. If you're not going to replace the head gasket or base gaskets...Leave 'em alone.
I've replaced the rocker box gaskets too many times to count on my 93 FLHS. I finally got the problem corrected...I had a warped section. Check with JP Cycles or any of the other catalogs out there. They make a special rachet style wrench for the EVO boxes:

Put the bike up on a jack or a stand so you can rotate the rear tire so the valves are closed on the jug you're working on. I recommend doing one at a time.
Have Fun. Don't forget the anti-seize.

For torques specs consider your Evo a airplane motor and not your car motor.
