Retighting of cylinder head
« on: 18.10. 2016 09:06 »
Hello,

I have to retight the cylinder head bolts of my long stroke. I haven't done it before. Do I have to remove both Rocker boxes or can I do that one after the others? Are there any advices how to proceed?

Regards Johannes

Remove both rocker boxes. I believe that some head gaskets leak  ( especially btn cylinders ) because just tightening the outer head bolts and not the inner ones is too easy.

I removed both. There are no cylinder head bolts under the rocker box of the inlet valves. 3 bolts are under the exhaust rocker box.
