Hi,
    Put some more miles on the Griso & still enjoying it.
    I have been doing some reading on this model especially 
    tappet issues. Lifted a cover & mines still running  flat tappets 
    (as expected as I have no paperwork to say otherwise).
    When doing this noticed a couple of the threaded holes in the cam caps
    where the cam cover bolts screw into were shot, one threaded insert
    actually came out with the bolt.
    Q1- are the threaded inserts put in at the factory ?
    Q2- do the cam caps come with the roller tappet conversion
           kit as I will be doing this pretty soon.
