I just installed the JE 416 kit and XR 400 cam from Marcum's. --- BTW, Terry is great to work with and very helpful.
My question is:
On the head cover, there are 13 bolts. The largest is right in the center of the head and the other 12 of various lengths are spaced around the edges. The service manual calls for 17 lbs of torque on the center, but does not specify on the others. I tried to go to 10 lbs on the outer bolts, but some of them began to feel like they were going to strip, so I stopped at between 6 and 8 lbs.
Has anyone seen any specs on these bolts? If not, what is everyone else using on these bolts and with what results?
Thanks
