first off..it's really cool that you take the time to answer idiots like me!
í just had some cylinder work done on my 1980 honda cr250r (last of the air cooled i think). somewhere along the line, i lost my manual. can you tell me what the torque specs are for both the cylinder and head bolts/nuts?
thanks,
jim
Answer Jim, I'm not sure what size those are but I'm guessing they are 10 mm or so. This link should help you. Just remember to put a little oil on the threads so you get an even torque. I'd recommend torquing them up in 3 steps to make sure you get an even load on the head gasket. So don't go to the full torque right away.
