first gen fork questions

[Morgan Jones]

Ernest et al,

I just called GMD and they said they can look up the weight used by the 
name of the guy who had the work done.  I hope can find my paperwork.  
They told me fork oil varies so it's best find out what's in there.  
Worst case I can send them the forks and have them re-worked for my 
weight.  they're for someone a little heavier than me anyway.

So the click is normal?  Is there nothing I should check/adjust/replace 
while I have it apart?

Thanks,

-morgan
