============================================================

I need the group's general consensus. I hope to get the newly
cleaned up heads back on my Ambo this weekend. Anyone with thoughts on

what

should or should not be used on any part of the reassemble? Loctite on

rocker supports and pin bolts? No need

Anti-seize the sparkplugs and exhaust nuts? Yup


A drop of oil for lubrication on the head nuts prior to torqueing?

Torque again overnight prior to putting the rocker supports back on?
Nope, Torque down heads, set valve clearance a bit on the large side, ride

miles, cool & re-torque.


Cylinders should go back on pistons dry or a little oil? Oil

Thanks,
Rich
