Rommel Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Posted March 26, 2015 oh sweet guys thanks so dont have to torque them. just got my top end kit today just need to bore cylinders Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 Tork the ones you can get at, then "feel" it with wrench, duplicate on hard to reach. Or buy cheap wrench and adapter and make own "special" crows foot for torque wrench. In Clymers manual it has formula for conversion. If making own, use even number such as 4" for easy math. Motion Pro (IIRC) has an adapter for most any box/open wrench, about $40 1 Quote
possum Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 with a standard wrench you cant get much higher then 25 ftlbs in that angle they are at. Just do it by feel like said above. Once there all snug tight. I click at 15 lbs the first 2 center ones between reeds, then feel it with a wrench. Then work my way out and around. repeat for 20 ftlbs. then go around again by hand and just turn them till they all feel even. Done Quote
registered user Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 why not put something like this on the end of your torq wrench http://www.ebay.com/itm/12mm-Torque-Adapter-Wrench-Motorcycle-Tool-12-pt-3-8-Drive-Life-Time-Warranty-/201317429268?hash=item2edf743014&vxp=mtr 1 Quote

They are finally pretty common in some tool suppliers and their catologs. I believe you have to do a little math for those to torque where you want, as the extension is like added leverage. 1 Quote
