    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

ok so i am looking at the torque table, and need to clarify some things

there is a setting for Cylinder Head Cover Bolt i am guessing this is what we call the Cam cover aka the rockerbox cover - 7 - 11Nm

next is Cylinder Head Bolt 7 - 11Nm and Cylinder Head Nut 23 - 27Nm - being as these are so vastly different i obviously don't want to get this wrong, so can someone explain to me which one is which on the engine, as to me they are all studs with nuts, although 4 of which are domed nuts (2 on each end) the rest standard.



Hopefully you guys can help me with this critical question :D

Thanks in advance
Tzian

Yes, knowing the bike usually helps, but this terminology seems to cover all the models.

Do you have smaller bolts on the outer edge of the head (between the two domed nuts)? How about a small bolt that holds the front edge of the head to the cylinder block? Some bikes have them, some don't. If you have them, they would be the "bolts". Note that they are only M6 bolts, so would have the lower torque values. The 12 studs that hold the whole assembly together would qualify as the "nuts" that get the higher torque. I believe they are M8 on your bike.

Feel free to add a signature that shows the bike you are riding/working on. That way you will not have to remember to add it to every post, it will already be there.
