Natvboy - one small point about the rockercover bolts...they have little plastic collars so that they make an oil-tight seal around the rocker cover holes. The dealer will try to get you to buy new bolts each time you have the covers off - don't, they are expensive. Just go down to the hardware store and buy a few feet of neoprene clear tubing (take a bolt with you to check the inside diameter). Cut little 1/16"-3/32" donuts off the tubing and squeeze them onto the bolts up to the heads. These homemade seals will work as well or better than the OEM design.
