Hey John, what ever it takes to do away with the TP parts and potential trouble down the road. Thanks

I did the change to full S&S many years ago.... see in the first pic how out of alignment it was with the TP stuff.

That problem is caused by TP rocker boxes on S&S heads. It's all about geometry. Need to use S&S rocker boxes, and check for valve guide wear, damage may already be done ,before installing the S&S rocker boxes. Check with Curtis, as he made some shims to eliminate that problem.

Yes, we have a kit now for $199.99 that eliminates the alignment issue, so you don't have to spend a ton of money just to fix the BD F up.

So with the kit you get to keep the TP rocker boxes? That’s pretty awesome

Just as a reminder. You need to check for valve guide wear. The kit WON'T fix damage, if it's already done
