So Don rebuilt my crank for me just the other day.... or was it 5-6 years ago? Time to put this thing together. Maybe you guys can check what I'm up to and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.
I've cleaned up the cases half real nice. Loaded everything into the upper case. Purchased new nuts. A seal kit. Picked up a fresh tube of blue loctite. A tube of Permatex grey (is that a good case sealent?). Fresh nuts and lock washers all grade 8 or better. Chased the threads. Going to buy a new torque wrench.
Online I found a manual and it suggests 4.5-6.5 lbs on the 6mm, 19-25 on the 10mm. Sound about right?
I'm thinking those lock washers are going to chew up my case good. But I don't have much choice do I?
Any advice?
Lorne.

If you do use a torque wrench...you will rip some of them. Ask me how I know. |

Out of all the engines I have built, which is close to triple digits... I can count the number engines on one hand I actually torqued case bolts...

I'm with you guys on the torque wrench thing. I was just thinking to do things by the books. Just this once ;-)
I own and work in a quick lube. I've torqued enough plugs over the last fifteen years by hand to wear out two or three snap-on 6 point wrenches. I should probably just free myself from the torque wrench idea and use the "Force" so to speak. Not literally such as applying to much force. But Star Wars force..... ok I'm sure your with me by now.

'Cause you didn't use the correct torque wrench?

Hey Lorne, what is your avitar about? I figure it has something to do with Dark Side of the Moon but..... Its a Quadraphonic 8 track tape. Surround sound from the 70's. The reel to reel and 8 track tapes had 4 distinct audio tracks. As apposed to most/ all others which just take a stereo track and synthisize 4 or 6 channel sound. |

Of course it is. Now I see it.
I have 2 Marantz receivers with the Quadradial option.
Cool!

If you have an accurate torque wrench use it. That's why fasteners have torques in the first place. If you dont have a wrench snug the little ones but still torque the big nuts. Make sure your clutch seals it's straight when you put the cases together. And make ute the kick starter spring is in correctly. That's likely people's biggest mistake.

Anyone have experience with the Permatex motoseal Grey. I'm a little nervous when I read "resistant to fuel" and "for frequently disassembled engines". However the last person into the engine appears to have used that black sticky Permatex sealent that I believe was called Indians Head Lacuer.

I have used Permatex grey before and was fine.
I am a big fan of Permatex Anerobic Flange Sealer though

I was nervous too, and ended up buying the 3bond 1194. It was just a couple bucks more
