Guest Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Sure that's not just the torque for the studs in the cases? 8ft-lbs don't sound a lot to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Sure that's not just the torque for the studs in the cases? 8ft-lbs don't sound a lot to me.... Well I'm not sure , this is the engine torque settings page and this is all you get . Surely the cylinder head bolt settings wouldn't be else where in the manual ? Bearing in mind it does say stud bolt rather than stud and nut . Edited April 7, 2018 by fastbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind it does stud bolt rather than stud and nut . Well I am. 8ft-lbs ain't enough for a cylinder head/barrel hold-down unless it's an engine for a model plane. The quoted torque is for the stud, not the nut that goes on it. And another thing - if the OP is too tight to buy a proper manual, then there's no way they will have invested in a torque wrench anyway......just sayin'.

Yep , you are quite right, I've just looked in my CG manual and its 16 - 20 ft-lbs so 8ft - lbs is definitely too low . The thing is , the proper manual is available as a free download from various sites but the cylinder head torque settings are difficult to find . Anyway it killed an hour while I was at the dentists. As soon as i stop dribbling I'm off to fit some brake shoes to the ER5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 8 ft-lbs will just about hold the lid on when you're drinking a cup of Starbucks' finest..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 The thing is , the proper manual is available as a free download from various sites...... 2 things to bear in mind:1. Google is your friend.2. But not as good a friend as Haynes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 got a manual but cant find the torque setting s for the rocker carrier bolts Nor can I but in the Haynes manual for the CG 125 its 16.5 to 20 Ft - lbs . It can't be much different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
