8mm= 20-23 ft lbs. I usually do them at 22 ft lbs.

Ditto.

 

The key is to tighten them down in a star type sequence to get nice even pattern.

I usually do mine all at 15, then 20, then 22.... I'm picky about that shit though..

i dont torque anything.l.. just tighten that shit down. start it up and let it run for a while. then recheck.

 

i once torqued a noss head to the required poundage. after i started it up i noticed coolant leaking in a couple spots. so i just used my own guess as to how tight it should be, and it solved the issue. i think that was the last time i tried to torque anything.

Sometimes it better to be good-n-tite then torqued Also remember torq value decreases if you use extensions anyway so use better judgement and u will b fine

I am also about to put my top end back together.This is my first time. Wondering if there is a torque spec for the jugs? thanks!

[donkeypuncher]

cool, thanks for the help fellas.

I torque the head, the cylinders, and the case halfs, everything else on the bike is just tightened by feel. On parts that are crucial I lock tight them.

i have the nology wires and I need a ground spot. Since we are talking about the head can i un bolt 1 bolt put the wire on and then tighten it to spec? Or is that bad just 2 un loose 1 bolt and then put it back on?

 

Dont mean to jump your thread by any means.

your fine to put the grounds on the head. I have one ground running to each of the farthest forward studs and torqued down.
