Greetings-
Currently restoring a 2002 K1200RS. I am currious... Are there torque specs for the manifold mounting studs that screw into the head? The nuts were so rusted that I had to remove the studs to get the nuts off. I found that the torque specs on the nuts nuts are 22 NM. What about the studs? Guy at dealer told me just to use some blue locktight and bottom them out and when I tourque the nuts the studs will set themselves. Does this sound right? Also... Is there any meaning to the "O" and the "E" stamped on each end of the stud?
Now to my stupid question...
Becasue I wasn't paying attention when I changed the final drive fluid... I torqued the bolts to 23lbs rather than 17lbs. 23 is the NM number. It was about a 1/4 more on each of the nuts. How big a deal is this? Did I totally screw (pun intended) things up?
Thanks-
