I have on an M1009 and an M1008. Made a huge improvement in ride quality and handling.
The nuts are heavy square pieces captured in a stamped steel cage inside the floor supports. The cage allows a small amount of movement of the nut. This is normal. As long as the cage is intact and...
When installing the rocker shafts you must properly position the crank to ensure that the valves don't connect with pistons etc. Procedure is in the TM's. Rotate to TDC then back so many degrees. Only then should you bolt down the rocker shafts.

I had the exact same issue just happen to me. That special made in Germany hose split on the return tube barb on each side of the front of the engine. Temporary fix was to cut 1/2" off the end of each hose and re-install. Long term will be to go back to the original parts.

So, fully understanding that we are way off topic from the original post, one of the common misunderstandings is that ATF is solely a hydrualic fluid. While it does support that function, it also serves the function of a gear oil. Automatic transmissions usually have gears in them as well...

NOTICE: Never clamp drive shaft tubing in a vise as the tube may be dented. Always clamp on one of the yokes, and support the shaft horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage...
Interested to see if the Y270 works or not.
Have also looked into accelerator cables you can "customize" like the Lokar's. Haven't gone that route yet. Those kits are close to Antennaclimber's cost for the NOS, so the only reason I would use one of those is to see if it worked.
