If you cut the rubber off you can then get a pair of vice grips on the bolt. I actually reused those emd caps on my twist grip setup. It looks pretty sharp

I got them off today. Idk why they came off just fine now but yesterday they weren't moving.

So today I got my engine kit and... there's parts that weren't packaged, idk wtf they are or where they go. Had a hollowed metal bar in my lap after check8ngnover the cylinder/jar? And engine itself.. idk where it came from
And realized my Hyper wheels are both warped. Didn't really go over too much the other day and plan to buy new wheels anyway.. but would've been cool to be able to at least test ride the thing. Both wheels have some serious wobble.
Will start a new thread on the engine. I may be wrong but it appears to have already had the ports cleaned, they're pretty smooth, BUT the gaskets are oversized and both heads I got don't seem to line up quite right.
Should I go ahead and replace all the gaskets? Is there a good quality gasket kit for these engines? I did get a copper head gasket with the kit and glad I did because the one that came with it looks like trash.

Gordy, do you happen to know the recommended spoke tension for the Hyper's wheels and/or the ones you shared thru amazon?
I'm adding a wheel truing stand and tension tool kit to my cart jic

I'm not sure. I did the tensioning by feel
Old school method for spoke tension is to aim for a middle C note.
If you tap on the spoke, and it sounds like this, you are good to go.
