Unless you are talking to the wife. In which case it's always best to ask forgiveness rather than ask for permission.

Before you remove the CCT on the front or rear cylinder you need to set the valve timing first (as described in this link:- viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8326 ).

Just to make it clear, you need to follow my instructions in the link I supplied, not the manual when you come to removing the CCT's for carrying out The Stopper Mod. You are right though in what you are thinking in your question above (which I have highlighted in Red)
Here it is again:- viewtopic.php?f=31&t=19416

Some one mentioned about a ratchet in some CCT's. There is no ratchet in the Firestorm/Superhawk OEM CCT's. As I understand it a CCT with a built in ratchet cannot back off in the event of a CCT spring failure. A Firestorm/Superhawk CCT will back off if/when a spring fails (breaks) allowing the pistons to come into contact with the valves, bending them.

Thanks Chris that’s cleared everything up for me now, no more questions, I hear everyone breath a sigh of relief
