NorthernBloke Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Quick question guys, I've just rebuilt the top end on my 1100 WP and all is well so before I put all the bodywork back on I wanted to know if its still best practice to re- torque the cylinder head bolts after its done a few miles? Or if it is would a few heat cycles in the shed be enough to save me having to remove and re fit bodywork again? Cheers Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Not only head bolts / nuts but a check of valve clearances would be sensible - so i'd leave it nakid for a while! Heat cycling doesn't really load the engine - needs to do some work! 1 Quote Link to comment

wombat258 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 1100W engines use MLS pressed steel gaskets. They do not settle like the old composite gaskets, and do not need retorquing.. Quote Link to comment
