Hello

The valve adjustement was done according to the manual n° 6

It remains to reassemble to start with the water pipe ...

I hope that will be sufficient

Is that half of a valve stem keeper ?

Thats really tough to figure out. It really does not look like a valve lock. How big is that piece ? Take a better picture with a ruler next to it. See if you can get the focus better. And maybe a picture from a different angle.

At first glance, that looks like a valve keeper..

F-2 Speedy 05-23-2025 01:42 PM

What ever it is it looks like its been broken, maybe lifter parts ?
