I dont know how to take this one. I have a Clymer manual, there is nothing aboutt his in it.
I have regularly gone over 150k miles in cars and never heard of doing this. My K100 has almost 96k miles on it and I would be going on basis of leave well alone if its fine, which it is. I am no expert on these bolts but the bit I do know is that they stretch and so it would seem one would actualy have to replace the cap bolts. I think if I was going that far I would leave alone or else replace the shells as well. My own decision is not to do this item.
