Gsx1100 cylinder head tightening sequence

[Kraptanaman]

Anybody got it because I am old and I cannot see the numbers cast in the head.

This is what my ET manual says.

[Reinhoud]

I torque my GS1000 to 40Nm, that's a bit more as what the specs say, but goes alright.

I don't think a GSX will be much different.

The picture is so small I suspect that unless Kraptanaman has a massive computer screen he won't be able to see the sequence.

There is no numbered sequence on the photo in the manual anyway the text gives the details of how to tighten

OK, that is interesting. I just looked at my EFE manual and a very similar picture shows the sequence. My guess is the sequence is the same as for the earlier engines so I will try and post a pic later Maybe the EFE head doesn't have the sequence cast-in. It's been ages since I had my rocker cover off (engine has to come out) and I cannot remember if this is so.

i start in the middle and work outwards either clockwise or anti-clockwise ...

Here you go: this is from the EFE manual.

Cheers lads.

That sequence always seemed odd to me! My sequence (using those numbers) would be, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 6, 5, 12, 9, 11 & 10. Got nothing against the Suzuki sequence just doesn't seem logical?

@Gixer1460I'm with you on that, does seem a little odd for a normal sequence...

Checking them every 3.5k as well? I've done heads where you have to do them once after Its been through a Full temp cycle (or when hot) but not as part of a regular service!
