vinceg Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi all, I need to do the o rings in the head and the clutch cover seal but I can't find the torque spec for the bolts anywhere. I looked for a manual but I can't find one anywhere with these values, can anyone shed some light? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmseven Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 2004 manual never had torque settings but page 40 below will be just fine for you http://www.trialspartsusa.com/manuals/eng.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebeast Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Easier said than done, Laser! The damned nuts are 13mm, and they are so tight to the cylinder in spots that I haven't figured out how to get a socket and torque wrench on 'em. Of course, my Motion Pro cresent wrench extender for torquing is only in 12/14mm. Guess I'll have to go find some thin walled 13mm sockets. In the meantime, having just done new rings and Boysen CarbonTech reeds on my '02 Pro, I just cranked down the nuts by hand. ;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinned down the tip of a 1/2" (fits a little tighter than 13mm) long box wrench (to fit the two front nuts that are really close to the cylinder) and torque them by feel (I've had a little practice). They go to 18/21 ft lbs and you can usually get them fairly close if you do a quick little practice just before with a torque wrench held in vice jaws. Not scientific but it usually works well.
