============================================================
 
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
the
 
 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?
Yup
 
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
5
 miles, cool & re-torque.


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