So I was adjusting the valves and managed to strip one of the adjustment screws.
The first 12 went just fine and somehow the 13 stripped without much force while I was turning the nut on it.
I really don't know what to do now.
Any advice before I call up the dealership?

I guess I'm really just need to know how to get the screw part out.
It's part number 14744-PCX-014

i think dealership is the only way, sorry to hear ):

I'm thinking I can take the cams off to do it

funkemonke

remove the cams just like the OP suggested.

Did you strip the threads, break the screw, or strip the slotted head of the adjuster screw. Your description of the problem is too vague for a response.

It looks like there's just a handfull of bolts to pull out. Is there anything more to it that I need to be worried about?

smrtgi

I stripped the threads on the screw and the inside of the nut

whatever you do use a torque wrench if you decide to pull it apart and put it back together, and torque everything to spec.

I torque the adjuster nuts to spec on every adjustment - 14 ft lbs. max -never had an issue doing it that way. Good luck with the repair.

I was using a torque wrench, but it was set at 18 ft lbs. Maybe that was the issue?

I'm going to be taking the rocker arm assembly off, it looks like that will let me get the screw out.

Does anyone know if I need to do something with the cam chain auto tensioner before I take the rocker arm assembly out?
