  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Valve cover torque specs?

I am checking the valves on my 06 510 SMR. What is the torque spec for the valve cover bolts? Does anyone know any tricks to get the valve cover not to leak like maybe some RTV sealant.
 
I assume that your are after the torque spec for "Cylinder Head Cover Fastening Screw"..??

Torque specifications can be found towards the back of your "Owners Manual". :thumbsup:

Around page 250 in the ''05 manual. (Should be similar in your '06 Manual).

My manual shows the Torque Specification for the M6x1 bolts as

8 Nm
2.55 Kgm
5.8 ft/lb

All of the above +/- 5%

There should be a "gasket" fitted to the cover. If this is in good condition there should be no need for any sealant...:)

Thanks Seahorse,

The 1/4 inch torque wrench I had wouldn't go that low so I guessed, it will be fine, I had a problem with the auto decomp at first but everything was in spec and its all back together now with the new Clarke tank on!
