pete250 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Does anyone know the torque settings for the cylinder head and base on beta 250 techno 1997? Also is there anything I need to look out for when draining and refilling the radiator? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronm Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I don't have the torque spec handy, but as for the second question- there is a vent screw in the upper radiator tank that is accessible from the front. M6 sockethead with a gasket. Removing it will allow the air to bleed as you are refilling. It makes it easier to get the system full.

sirdabsalot Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 RonM-- That's great, I never knew about that vent screw. Do you know if it's on the Rev 3? As far as the first question, I always torque bolts down 'til they break, and then quickly back off 1/2 turn. (Sorry, but lately it seems like that's what I do. I've had a few broken screws.)

dr nick Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I`ve often wondered about torque settings . All or most of the bolts on my 98 techno must have a setting but it doesnt give any in the manual, well.... in my manual anyway I wouldve thought that some of the bolts settings to be very important. to gain a mention. I suppose all Beta owners have to keep ringing up J.Lampkin Dont know about other makes regards N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabsalot Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I just found my copy of torque settings that were posted awhile back. These are for a Rev 3, but I would think they are the same for the Techno. Cylinder to Crankcase = 20-23 NM (15-17 LbF) Cylinder head to Cylinder = 15-16 NM (11-12 LbF) Hope this helps, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete250 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Thanks Richard Youve probably saved me some snapped bolts and a lot of swearing. I hadnt realised that the torque setting was so low. Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
