Hey guys, my manual says to replace the twelve washers and acorn nuts on my 1980G...is it possible that the four interior acorns don't have washers? I think that I only took eight off, but the Clymer's says twelve. I got more washers at the wreckers, but I want to be sure that I need twelve washers for the twelve acorns. I'd hate to snap something off because I fixed a problem that wasn't a problem.

Head Washers
Look a little closer. Mine was the same way. The washers are there, but look like a boss. It took some more cleaning and a bump with a drift to knock them loose.LuckyEddie

Head Washers cont.......
As an after thought, you can check for the washers by using a magnet, washers are magnetic, the head is not.LuckyEddie

Naw, Lucky, I'd had the head off and worked on the valves and a bunch of other crap, so them being stuck on was not an issue. The plastic compartment storage into which I'd put the parts as I took them off was short four, but I pulled the head months ago, so I must have misplaced them, although I thought I was careful. I searched all of the usual suspects to no avail. I'll probably find them when I go searching for one of the four 12mm sockets I can never find...."Time is the greatest teacher; unfortunately, it kills all of its students."Comment
