Approved AND checked? Fancy!

There's still controversy in Laverda world. What does it say about head stud torques ?  Cam blocks have head studs going through them. One side of the alloy block has a 9mm stud - about 30ft/lb - the other side has an 8mm - about 18ft/lb. It's very easy to break a cam block if you fuck it up.

Some editions I hear say 30 or so ft/lb both sides.....the 9's are through studs to the top case. The 8's are short head to barrel studs.

Any progress @Goat?

Haha, I've had all the bits to assemble the engine for years.

Just got distracted with a couple of Harley builds, a goldwing build, h1 resto, and a gt550 rebuild in the interim.

Hopefully get back into this in a few months! 

Watch this space.
