i never had any issues with them... make sure your using the right size allen key and then get a spanner on the end to give you more leverage

Okay so i kept forgetting to post up, this was about 2-3 weeks ago, i instantly felt a better throttle response and more of a better take off

great results, only question where can i get a gasket? :/ mines running kind of thin, and repco were the cheapest but they had a kit and it was like $50, and im not paying that for a piece of rubber..

anyways, heres the results!
