I got some things.. cuz you can’t ride to Valhalla with your cylinders oozing oil...... Super techy-tech head studs for the Elefant... In some of the older Ducati air-cooled motors, the steel head studs were made too brittle to deal with the heat expansion of an aluminum motor... I’d heard about the issue... But then driving home from work last week, I noticed some extra vibration in the motor. Rolled the bike into the garage and was shocked to see the amount of oil pouring off the block.......
Well... I’ve been needing to check the valve lash anyway, and that’ll be greatly simplified with the motor pulled.....

Those are some fine pieces I love the beefy threads. Rolled threads?

I don’t know..... they’re just supposebly the best head studs you can get for the older duc motors... but they are quite pretty...
