I'm planning on using the head bolts that were born with it. I can't come up with any real good reason to get aftermarket studs or bolts. Bolts certainly can't be the weak link in the head.
6M torque specs question?????
I'm rebuilding my 6M and understand the differences that the 6M brings to the rest of the motor, but my question is what torque specs should I use when putting it back together?
Options are:
A.) Since it's a 7M crank and rods, should I use the torque specs for the 7M when putting the mains and rods together?
B.) Do I use the 5M specs which are all a bit lighter?
C.) Should I just close my eyes and reef on it till my "f'd up wrist from hockey" gives out?
Much appreciated..
As a side note, I'm letting my 11 year old son pick out the paint colors for the motor. this could be interesting and I'll be sure to put up some pics. I'm psyched he'll come out and help me with this so it's a damn good trade off.
