top end re-do

[sme]

on a gpz1100 b model

when the head is taken off,
the 4 outer engine studs- should the black small gasket be tight against the stud or loose?
are they oil passages? as found oil in the 2 outer front ones, or maybe some oil went down when taking it to bits.


what is the torque settings for
-the main engine stud nuts that hold the head down when it gets put together?
(what order should they be tightened ? )
-the cam shaft bolts ?
-

what is best way to seal
-the o ring for the cam chain tunnel ?
-4 end cam rubber pieces ?


whats the cam chain spacing between the cam shaft sprockets ?

its has graphite type gaskets so i guess its ok to re-use them ?

the copper washers- can they be re-used again or is it best to heat them up ?

This should cover most and more.

Just use the normal cam chain tunnel rubber seal under the gasket or see below.
-4 end cam rubber pieces ?
Loctite 5910 for me. Debbens sell it as do others and its also sold on ebay

whats the cam chain spacing between the cam shaft sprockets ?
Its down to dash marks on the cam chain wheels with the HYVO type chains.

its has graphite type gaskets so i guess its ok to re-use them ?
Myself i would say not as most of the sealing compound wil now be left behind and doubtless removed.

the copper washers- can they be re-used again or is it best to heat them up ?
If theyre not chewed on the surface it should be fine. I have re-used mine several times and without annealing them too.

You can download a manual from Kano's site which covers youre model.

ok thanks for those links.

where can i get the 4 black rubber o rings ?
and
head gasket- the type in 2 sections

this engine has no recess on the cylinder top for the 4 rubber o rings
but there were 4 when the engine was taken to bits and were very flat.
