So I want to make sure I bolted the engine mount bracket up correctly. What is the torque spec for the two bolts that attache the bracket to the front head. Also do should I use loctite (red I am assuming).

I know this has been covered before, but I can't remember what it is supposed to do. I already have the new bolts.

Thanks,

60 ftlbs
red loctite
oil on washer
do not get oil on threads

tighten to 60 ftlb's then loosen one turn and re torque

this is covered in a bulletin, b-018 maybe

thanks! I broke a set last year and put a new set in without knowing the proper specs (or having red loctite. I want to replace them before the riding seans gets in full swing this year rather then waiting for them to break.

So far have carefully inspected the cylinders and valve train components no visible abnormalities were apparent. Replaced lifters. Sound is still returns when bike heats up Still at a loss.
