@Dave
I'm sure I can figure out how to get a bolt in there the task is going to be getting the left over bolt out without removing the head cap.

Oh...I didn't know it was still in there.  Spacers and a nut is the easiest short term fix.

Ya that's not possible the PO cut the excess bolt off so there's no threaded area to work with. Gonna have to figure out how to cut it below the fin and remove it in pieces.

Is there a way to remove a section of the cylinder fins to open up the front of the cavity so we can brush stuff out without damaging the engine?  Can't tell from pictures and far away from bike to go look.  just asking.

and...

I saw something in the tech section about how to cut off the long bolt and replacing it with one down from the top to a nut.   somewhere.

@Art
I have one of those info-mercial triangle blade sander/saw deals that I think will get in there and cut the bolt between the fins. I just do t wanna damage the fin in an attempt to not remove the head cap. If I can't do it without damage I'll take it off. I just got a full gasket kit so I have the replacement gasket for it.
