[napalm_27]

just rebuilding the top end on the womans corsa
its got a x14sz lump in it and just bought a headset from my old work should there be a cambox gasket to go between the head and cambox??
bit confused as i cant remember taking one off and cant find one anywere so is it metal to metal?

regards nathan

No, you just use rtv/silicone sealant

was just making sure as didnt want to have to go back and mess about changing gasket sets etc

TBH i never used any on my 1.2 and it never leaked.

[napalm_27]

[Adam]

Definently use some, as if you dont and it leaks its a headoff job......

25nm
60*
60*
60*
havnt actually got a nm torque wrench only degree's one what could i do for the first setting??

[Adam]

Hmm, 25nm aint very tight, will have to just guestimate it, or buy/borrow a torque wrench.

[Paul]

will have to just guestimate it

I cant beleive you have just given this advice out Adam lol

[AlexW]

I was thinking the same, get a torque wrench!

[Adam]

I cant beleive you have just given this advice out Adam lol
I did also say or buy/borrow a torque wrench ;)

Tbh 50% of garages i guarantee dont use torque/angle wrenches :thumb:

[Paul]

Shocking TBH. But I know most HG's, you struggle to pull the last bit

[Adam]
