November 8, 200619 yr hi there, does anyone know if the allen bolts on the top of the cylinder have to be torqued down. If so does anyone know what they need to be torqued to. Also what torque do the nuts need to be that connect the barrel to lower casing. cheers jimbo
November 8, 200619 yr Hi Jimbo Does this mean you have found a new piston? Give me a ring as I have lost your mobile no again. Nick
November 9, 200619 yr Its really hard to get a torque wrench on my 1992 GasGas, so i asked BnB what to do, and they told me to do it to FT with a spanner.... F****ing TIGHT ! However my 05 Pro manual tells me Cylinder stud bolt fasteners - 25 Nm Cylinder head screws -11,5 - 13 Nm Cylinder Nut - 25 Nm Dont know if that will be your bike as you dont say, but hopefully that will help ? Have fun Mat
November 9, 200619 yr Author cheers mat, I dont have any manuals for my bike so thats been a great help. Its an 01 txt 125 so hopefuly there wont be much difference in the torques. A job for saturday i think. Cheers jim
November 10, 200619 yr Dont over tighten them becuase the thread is abit crappy and its pretty easy to strip it and then youve got to get the whole cylinder head off and re-thread it.
November 12, 200619 yr Author thanks for the advice guys. would have done it yesterday but my little end bearing wont fit in the new piston so iv got to source another one tomorrow. hopefully it will be running in time to use it next saturday. Jimbo
