    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Reusing Crankcase Bolts?

Next question from me... the search feature just isn't being nice to me at the moment and I can't find any answers!

Anyway, all but three of my crankcase bolts came out ok when I split the cases, is it safe to reuse these and just replace the three ones I broke or should I be replacing them all?
 
I reused mine. Just be careful when you tighten them; use a torque wrench and stop if the threads seem like they are going to pull out (I stripped a couple of case threads, but the screws were fine).
 
Thanks Ed, I have been planning on getting a torque driver to do this properly.
 
I like to put a dab of anti seize on the bolts, helps to lube the threads. Make sure to get a torque wrench something like 0-50 or even an inch lbs wrench
 
Cheers guys, locktite/anti sieze and a torque driver are both on my list of things to get soon for the putting it back together phase...
