[0_o]

I'm getting the cosmetic gasket kit and the cylinder back from the shop tomorrow and i want to make sure everything looks good!
should i spray them with brake cleaner?
How are they supposed to look?

make sure there is absolutely no gap between the small ones and the big one.

those have 1 huge reed, and 2 smaller reeds ontop of the big reed.

at anyrate, the one side looks like it need to flip the reeds becuase there is a gap

a slight gap is ok on the smaller reeds as long as it is even. I believe boyesen says .5mm give or take a lil is normal.
the big reeds shpuld have no gap.

looks ok to me.

FWIW 80% of new power reeds or dual stage reeds dont sit flush right out of the package. because the first stage is so light they will close the slight gap when the piston moves from BDC to TDC

I have the same reeds and they look the same way with that little gap in them. Its is normal I guess. I would clean them off tho which some intake cleaner or something , if you un screw them make sure you use a lot of loctite and the right torque.
