If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

82 1100G valve cover bolt map

took the valve cover off months ago to start valve adjustments, took me awhile to get the tools in and the cover gasket, now I have no idea which bolt lengths go where.

I *can* figure it out by playing with each length in each hole but before I did that I figured it would be worth a try to see if the valve cover bolt config was documented somewhere
 
Have you looked at the parts fiche? I know mine will show the bolt sizing and if one bolt is different they show it for that hole.

closer, that's the E, this is the G

But the pointer to alpha-sports parts explosion was the clue I needed and the drawing in the bottom L of the above is exactly what I was after

#3 -06458

#4 -06408

#5 -06358

assuming the parts after the - are size (6mm) and length/pitch maybe? I can lay all the bolts out and organize by size to figure it out. Qty 9 of the #5, 8 of the #4, and 1 #3, should be fairly straight fwd from here

thx all

Waste of time trying to map which bolt goes where.

Lay the cover in place then stick bolts in their holes. Make sure all the bolt heads are sticking up the same amount. Shuffle bolts between holes until this is achieved.

Tighten bolts. Done.

should be as this is how it usually is

so those would be an M6 x 45, 40 and 35 mm in length

and you measure just the bolt shaft, not the head, so from the bottom of the bolt head to the end is the length


it was a good Collaboration....
