Does anyone have a GYSM that shows the torque for all of the engine mount bolts and the lower frame rails?
Fred

GAT or RFT...

What is GAT or RFT??

Good And Tight....or.......Real Fucking Tight

Pat beat me to it by half an hour....

I've also seen "grey-tight" and "black-tight" (you tighten it until your vision greys out, or goes completely black.)

I've also seen someone tighten something to 88 ft-lbs by grunting "eighty-EIGHT."

First ride with the rebuilt engine. Got almost 12 miles.... Stopped at the Kansas Masonic Home for a photo op. I have to do an engine Break-in as if it was a brand new engine. Keeping the RPM's below 5000 is mentally difficult. I want to hear it sing.

Fred

Ummmm, why?

You installed new pistons rings and bearings. The bearing require zero break in and the rings will seat under normal riding.

I would not be running redline, but normal riding is what you need to do.

No, the original pistons were used with new rings installed.
