torque settings

Post by billyboy »

i cant seem to find the settings for securing the piston to the crankshaft . are they the same for the 64 and the 102? and is there any special trick to putting on the lockwire? thanks in advance.

Big End Fasterners?

66 - 80 inch pounds with thread lock.

Wire so that the wire prevents the counter rotation (Undoing of) the individual fastener.

Twist from one to the other. Making something looking tidy! (Minimal Wire)

Can Not Go Wrong.

thanks for that. im not too familiar with inch pounds but if my maths is right it should work out to about the same torque as the cylinder base nuts. does that sound about right?

Just do them up FT.

This is a term used by a mechanic mate of mine.

I will let you work out what it means. :wink:
