      head nuts are 27ft/lbs i think...
      the sequence should be stamped on the head - the sequence is: from the inside out, 2 nuts each side at a time

          Yeah. Cam journals are 7 ft lbs.

          Valve cover 15 INCH pounds. 1.25 ft lbs.

              Cam cover 6mm bolts are 6.5 lb/ft with paper gasket I think.

                      I can see why you are underquoting the torque specs. Would the snapped bolt have anything to do with it. Sorry. My sense of humour is a bit weird.

                          Criss cross from the center and work your way out. Tighten evenly and gradually.

                              Exactly which GS1000 model are you rebuilding? There's the 8V chain drive, the 8V shaftie, and the 16V chain drive. GS1000 doesn't tell us much, although I think the information given is still correct for all the above.

                              The torquing sequence is cast into the head -- didn't you notice the little numbers already...?

                              It's a good idea to tighten head bolts in stages -- work through the sequence three times, torquing a little more each time.

                              15 inch-pounds for the valve cover bolts is correct if you're using a silicone RealGasket. The other figure is correct if you're using a paper gasket.

                                  Brian got my reasoning correct.

                                  Every time I see a post is from Brian Wringer, I think, "OK, here comes the right answer." or ""This'll be good to read."

                                      If it's an 8 valver, check the torque table in the service manual for all your torqued-off needs. :-D

                                      (And a good torque wrench is worth its weight in gold.)
