Hi again folks. Timing adjuster sorted (thanks Mark), next job is tightening things as I reassemble. I have the manual from Mine Host, but can't find any torque settings in it. Can someone please point me at a list of these? Initially I need timing sprocket torques but will eventually need head nuts, d/s crank nut, alternator rotor, clutch centre etc etc...
Thanks, Stephen

No torque values were published for these so you'll have to use your skill and judgement! However, 23foot/pounds has been found to work for heads and bigend bolts. When doing heads use our Host's hardened steel washers, they are in Accessory Catalogue for the Bullets. Clutch can use the new Nyloc nut for confidence. Use Loctite on alt rotor bolt. The rest is feel! REgards, Mark
