Titanium engine hardware
I bought the titanium engine studs/nuts for my bike and know some others here did the same. My question is what torque value did you use for the head nuts, I can't remember the exact torque I used though I know it was less than the book value. I'm wondering if this may be helping my head leak. What has anyone else used as torque values for these sets. Thanks.
Re: Titanium engine hardware
I have used the same torque spec than standard nuts, but haven´t started the engine yet.
Re: Titanium engine hardware
Thanks for the answer, I retorqued and my leak quit after the first ride, we'll see if it says dry.
Re: Titanium engine hardware
Always torque to spec in right order, start over again and back off half a turn and retorque each nut. You will see it goes just bit more before it clicks out, do this and you don't have to retorque. Ever.

Re: Titanium engine hardware
Yeah, I bought the entire set as I needed head studs anyway, good quality but the studs with the necked down center are solid. This wasn't an issue for me as I'm a machinist, not sure if it would affect cooling but did it just in case.2smoke wrote:http://www.rzrd500.com/500phpBB3/viewto ... =3&t=11595

Re: Titanium engine hardware
Oh, yeah, forgot about that thread. I love titanium hardware - but not 12-points.2smoke wrote:http://www.rzrd500.com/500phpBB3/viewto ... =3&t=11595

I should ask if I can buy just the studs.
Would love to get some ti studs for my RZ350 engines, too. Could they be the same size and length as the RZ500 studs?
