Post by reds »

When I took teh head off to replace HG, there were 2 x longer head bolts.

I wrote down on a piece of paper where tehy came from, but have now lost teh paper !!!

thanks zimm !!!

didnt get very far, as when using torque wrench it wasnt cutting out, did the first one up incredibly tight, with it set to 25n, but it didnt give, and figured it must be too tight, so have slackened it back off, and am now going to try and borrow one from somewhere, as think mine must be knackered !

had a look at teh H microfiche and thats where i figured the two bolts went - nice to have it clarified though too !!!

Another trick when torquing the head is to put a very small amount of grease on the bolthreads so they don't stick and cause the torque wrench to "click" to early.
