    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.

Valve cover bolts

The valve cover has 16 bolts, 5 of them are about 1" 5/8 long, 11 of them are about 1" 3/8 long. Where do the longer bolts go (I'm an idiot for not keeping track)? Thank you very much for help.

for the 78 1000 cover


when insterted in the holes, and not torqued down, if you have them in the right spot, all the bolt heads should be at the same relative height.
 
been a minute since i had a 1000 cover off, but 2 long ones should be in the middle rear, think two long ones in the middle up front, then 1 each on a corner

Thanks a million! I think I have it correct. Is the protocol to delete a simple post after it's answered?
 
it doesnt matter. it falls off the front page if no replies. just leave it incase some one searches for the same answer
 
Suzuki engineers seem to have followed the rule of having two nominal diameters' worth of thread engagement into aluminum. So, an M5 screw should stick out of the hole about 10 mm if it's in the right hole. Follow that rule, and you should have to guess. Unless you have some damaged threads, which this rule will also reveal.
