Hi John

I didn't make it particularly clear but the torque settings and tightening sequence are on that "how to" page.

Head bolts 40Nm, the two external side nuts 20Nm and the internal long Allen bolts 10Nm.

Not sure what you mean about a locking tool - sorry. You don't need one to put the timing chain on.

Brian

If you are going to do it John can I suggest that after taking the tank off you give the frame and wiring etc above the head a darn good power wash as you don't want any dirt or grit falling into the engine when you have opened it.
