Just passing on some info, i changed all my casing bolts for some nice polished hex head stainless ones, replaced one at a time a re-torqued to 8ft/lb in a star pattern by the book.less than 200 miles later i have removed the pick up cover to fit a4 deg advancer(what a difference
) to find the bolts a bit,well not loose but not that tight either, re checked all casing bolts as before, all were about 3ft/lbs off tight?
So the point is it may well be worth checking these things if youv'e changed them.I dont think threadlock is a good idea on stainless into alloy,and i used the copperslip supplied with the bolts. Now i don't want them to seize,but i not chuffed with them coming loose either!
Oh well, that was all
